Bluetooth technology is constantly subverting the way we interact with devices, and how they interact with devices. In April of this year, Bluetooth SIG released the "2020 Bluetooth Market Update" report. The report pointed out that in 2024, the shipment of Bluetooth for cars will reach 109 million, and 87% of new cars will be equipped with Bluetooth technology. There is a broad trend in the automotive field, and this trend is more obvious in terms of car interconnection, that is, users hope that Bluetooth module technology can be used not only inside the car, but also to the outside of the car.
Car interconnection is not only about infotainment and social applications, but also includes four aspects: infotainment, keyless entry, network access, and autonomous driving.
So why did the original equipment manufacturers of these cars choose Bluetooth technology?
Bluetooth has several main advantages:
- 1. Bluetooth is a global standard, and it is enough to develop an application platform.
- 2. All Bluetooth functions can be connected to a master control device of the car, reducing complexity and cost.
- 3. Bluetooth supports two-way communication, eliminating the need for special tools, thereby reducing the complexity and cost of development.
- 4. Bluetooth can achieve higher security than existing RF solutions.
- 5. Easily connect devices such as smart phones to the car directly.
At the same time, it needs to be pointed out that Bluetooth is not just a solution for a single manufacturer. Various suppliers and OEMs all work together to use Bluetooth technology. The application of Bluetooth technology in the automotive industry is supported by many manufacturers, including Qualcomm, Broadcom, Intel, TI, Dialog, AlpsAlpine, IMEC, and so on.
Currently, Feasycom has many Bluetooth modules that could meet the automotive application requirement, including the Bluetooth audio module FSC-BT1006A, TI CC2640 BLE module FSC-BT616.
