Editing Future Bluetooth

==Information on Future Bluetooth Specifications==

===Bluetooth 1.2===
* Backward compatible with 1.1
* Baseband platform already available from [[Ericsson]] Techonology Licensing
* Adaptative Frequency Hopping ([[AFH]]) provides better immunity to interference from other devices (such as 802.11 devices)
* [[Scatternet]] ability (Running multiple [[Piconet]]s simultaneously, making it possible to interconnect piconets)
* Extended SCO (ESCO) (whatever that means)
* Improved [[QoS]]
* Faster connections then in 1.1


===Bluetooth 2.0===
'''First news/rumors'''


* Backward compatible with 1.1 and 1.2
* This version is rumored to contain new speeds of 4,8 and 12 Mbps. 
* A new way of communication: non-hopping narrowband connections, which sounds like a broadcast channel that can be read by all devices in the coverage area.
* 2.0 dispenses with the master/slave situation making every device able to keep a piconet running, while as in the 1.1 spec if the master leaves the piconet is dropped for all slaves
* The release of the 2.0 specification will propably be delayed to 2004, even though there are already prototypes running in Ericssons labs
