Bluetooth SIG adopts 'High Data Throughput' standard: Low-power transmission peak speed increases by 275% to 7.5 Mbps, paving the way for lossless wireless audio

The Bluetooth SIG has adopted 'High Data Throughput' (HDT) technology as an optional feature for Bluetooth Core Specification 7.0, increasing the peak bit rate of low-power transmission from 2 Mbps to 7.5 Mbps, a speed increase of 275%. HDT enhances spectral efficiency, energy efficiency, and reliability through a new physical layer, with the first flagship scenario being high-end lossless wireless audio, with the first supporting devices expected to be released in early 2027.
