Thanks for the opportunity. I was wondering if a more in-depth piece would be useful for the next issue, perhaps explaining how UWB and Bluetooth are so well suited – and the product/consumer use cases enabled by this combination. — Paul Maurice, Artimi Inc. Paul, we address that very topic in this issue. In “Full Speed Ahead” on page 44, Joel Linsky, chairman of the Bluetooth Core Speciﬁcation Working Group, discusses the advantages of integrating high-speed technologies like UWB and 802.11 into the Bluetooth wireless core speciﬁcation. – Ed.

I’d like to congratulate you on the fantastic publication that is SIGnature. It’s an excellent read and full of useful information and insights into the future of Bluetooth. My query relates to new product ideas. I don’t have a technical background but I work in the mobile industry and have an idea for a consumer product that will work on the Wibree technology. Can you advise on the steps I should follow to develop the idea from a concept to a prototype stage and hopefully further? — John O’Brien, Dublin, Ireland If you're looking for more information on topics like UWB, ultra We are happy to hear about your new low power Bluetooth technology, wireless medical applications, ideas for a Bluetooth enabled product, John.
