Unlocking accurate, secure and low‑latency distance measurements with centimeter‑level precision, Bluetooth® Channel Sounding (BCS) is now part of the Bluetooth 6.0 specification and surpasses the legacy received signal strength indicator (RSSI) method. In this video, you’ll get a clear overview of how BCS works and learn about NXP’s latest devices that support channel sounding.
Bluetooth® is everywhere, and with the introduction of Channel Sounding, we can use this convention for accurate, secure and low-latency distance measurements with centimeter-level accuracy. Channel Sounding is the latest method of calculating the distance between two objects and is a feature introduced for the Bluetooth 6.0 specification. It delivers secure and precise localization for a variety of use cases such as IoT ambient awareness and automotive secure car access.
