The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has approved the High Data Throughput (HDT) technology as an additional feature of the Bluetooth Core 7.0 standard. It will increase the maximum data transfer speed on Bluetooth LE devices from 2 to 7.5 Mbps.
This will allow for higher-quality audio transmission, support for multichannel and spatial audio, and accelerate data synchronization and firmware updates for smartwatches. The increased bandwidth will also benefit AI-powered devices and spatial computing systems.
The first devices supporting HDT are expected in early 2027. Wider adoption of the technology is forecast for later.
