Summary

Ditto's v2 Bluetooth stack has significantly improved the Bluetooth range, tripling its previous capacity to extend connectivity up to 90 meters, as demonstrated using two different Android phones. This advancement is attributed to several key innovations, including protocol enhancements that improve handshaking efficiency, a revamped document model that uses CBOR serialized data for an 18-22% reduction in document size, and the utilization of lower-level APIs that were previously unavailable or underutilized. Additionally, newer hardware like iPhone 8s and later models benefit from more sophisticated Bluetooth chips that enable faster reconnection and data transmission. The introduction of Bluetooth 5.x allows devices to communicate at a higher bandwidth than previous versions. Ditto continues to pursue further innovations at the protocol and compression levels to enhance performance and efficiency, inviting interested developers to join their team.
