The situation with Bluetooth 6.0 is essentially the same as it was with Bluetooth 5. The adoption of Bluetooth Channel Sounding, much like earlier advancements such as Mesh, Direction Finding and Angle of Arrival (AoA), is expected to face significant delays before becoming generally available in deployable products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historically, the uptake of newer Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) enhancements has been slow, largely because they require not only new hardware but also updated software that makes use of the latest Software Development Kits (SDKs). This combination adds complexity to both development and deployment. In addition, compatibility constraints mean that new Bluetooth LE features typically cannot be retrofitted to existing smartphone devices, which further limits their early adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n

At this time, the only device we are aware of that offers Bluetooth 6.0 Channel Sounding capability is the Moko L03<\/a>. While we do not stock this beacon as a standard item, it can be sourced and supplied as part of our consultancy and development work<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who need effective distance measurement, another option is to consider beacons such as the iBS03R<\/a>, which includes a dedicated Time of Flight (TOF) distance sensing hardware module.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
