The Bluetooth SIG, responsible for the development of wireless communication technologies, has officially announced the Bluetooth Core 6.2 standard. This new version significantly shortens the technology’s response time by advancing low-latency communication. The announced innovations will have a significant impact, particularly in high-performance devices, real-time sensors, and industrial applications.

The Bluetooth 6.2 standard is here

The most striking innovation introduced by the Bluetooth 6.2 standard is the Shorter Connection Intervals system. This feature radically reduces the minimum connection interval for Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) devices.

This minimum interval, previously 7.5 milliseconds, is now just 375 microseconds. This difference, reduced to a fraction of a thousandth of a millisecond, theoretically translates to a twentyfold increase in speed. Thanks to this significant improvement, Bluetooth-based sensors, game controllers, and human-machine interfaces can now operate with significantly lower latency.

The new standard also introduces support for Bulk Serialization Mode (BSM), a feature specific to USB connections. This mode simplifies the integration of Bluetooth LE Audio technology into USB-based systems. For example, Bluetooth audio devices used in computers or automotive systems will now operate more synchronously and without delay.

Significant improvements are also made on the security front. The new version includes advanced RF (radio frequency) defense protocols that protect against amplitude-based attacks.

This layer of security makes Bluetooth 6.2 a more reliable wireless option in professional and critical environments such as smart home systems, automotive hardware, and industrial equipment. The adoption of Bluetooth Core 6.2 is expected to accelerate next year, depending on how quickly hardware manufacturers adopt this new standard.
