<p>Late last year we got an early look at improvements (http://9to5mac.com/2015/11/11/bluetooth-sig-range-speed-smart-apps/) coming to the next version of Bluetooth, and now the Bluetooth Special Interest Group has revealed the name of the upcoming version plus more specifics about the new standard. Bluetooth 5 will be the successor to Bluetooth 4.2, which was released at the end of 2014, suggesting a notable release this year. The new standard will be announced next week, and this is what we know so far.</p>
