"Bluetooth 5 Promises an End to Pairing
The power of Bluetooth is set to explode when the next version of the wireless technology is released at the turn of the year. Bluetooth 5 will offer eight times the broadcasting capacity, have four times the range, and run twice as fast as current Bluetooth technology, the organization responsible for development of Bluetooth announced on Thursday. The increased broadcasting capacity could pave the way for the introduction of "connectionless" data transfers, meaning that the need to pair a Bluetooth device like a headset or wireless keyboard with a mobile app or computer program may become a thing of the past. Longer range means that it will be possible to use Bluetooth devices throughout the home, and higher speeds will make these devices more responsive."

- rcthompson 10y agoThat's like saying that we can improve office communication by having everyone yell louder so everyone else can hear them.
- nwah1 10y agoMy understanding is that the anonymous broadcasting has been boosted, which may enable more interesting types of device handshaking abilities. It is not merely that the bandwidth has improved, as in the past.
