Bluetooth low energy wireless technology (it's official name from the Bluetooth SIG uses lower case letters) won't be commercially available until 2010 (the spec is expected to be release in the (northern) summer of 2009, after which companies will need to test their sample chips before commercialization) so direct comparison is not relevant yet.

Compare with Bluetooth Low Energy Wireless Technology

There is a new version of Bluetooth on the horizon (2009) called Bluetooth Low Energy Wireless Technology - before that it was called Ultra-Low Power (ULP) Bluetooth and before that Wibree.

A comparison between ANT and Bluetooth Low Energy Wireless Technology would be more appropriate than the comparison with basic rate or enhanced data rate Bluetooth. 80.246.32.33 (talk) 13:04, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
