Bluetooth technology
Following
huge client demand and the technical advancement of the SOFTswitch™ core
technology, SOFTswitch™ Ltd is now able to offer
Bluetooth audio streaming.
Among the benefits this brings to the user is the versatility
of having electronics integrated into the textile substrate, whilst
utilising all the wireless benefits of Bluetooth.
As the wearable electronics market continues to develop, wireless functionality,
such as Bluetooth, is key to the growth of new application areas and the enhancement
of existing products.
Further developments linking SOFTswitch™ sensing fabrics with short range communication technologies for patient monitoring within the hospital environment will emerge in the near future.
Similarly, coupling Bluetooth and SOFTswitch™ within the automotive industry is being actively pursued, with sensing and switching applications under development.
