The Bluetooth Special Internet Group has passed two new
certifications that aim at device that monitors parameters related to cycling
as well as running. It is the same group that certifies all types of Bluetooth accessories.
The Bluetooth headset or keyboards and mouse that you connect to the PC have
also been certified by them. But almost two years ago, the group has addressed
on producing lower power consuming devices that could be connected to fitness
devices like Nike+ FuelBand.
The new standards that have been approved as sensors for
tracking devices will measure various parameters of exercise such as running
cadence, stride strength, speed of cycling and many more and transfer it to Bluetooth
enabled smartphones or sport watches. It has been presumed that if the devices
are kept a low power consuming state, it will give a more accurate result.
As reported by Gigaom, Bluetooth Low Energy will be going
the mainstream very soon. And soon the old devices that required an extra
dongle to connect to the PC will be replaced by the newer standards. This is
because companies are expected to switch production to the newer Bluetooth low
energy fitness monitoring device. After all, customers are will for easy to use
device and the survival of the company lies on satisfaction of the customers.
