Bluetooth SIG hails China's innovative role in global ecosystem

China is emerging as a pivotal force in the global Bluetooth ecosystem, both as a major market and an increasingly important source of innovation, as the technology shifts from consumer connectivity toward broader applications in the artificial intelligence era, said a senior executive of Bluetooth Special Interest Group.

"Boasting the second-largest number of Bluetooth member companies globally and ranking first in product qualifications, China is now an indispensable innovator to Bluetooth development," said Neville Meijers, CEO of the company.

Meijers said that with one in every three qualified Bluetooth devices in Asia-Pacific now coming from China, the country sits at the heart of the Bluetooth ecosystem in the region.
