GN Mobile has qualified the world's first Bluetooth headset to Bluetooth version 2.0. GN was also first to qualify a Bluetooth headset to versions 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2.

"GN Mobile is committed to incorporating the latest version of Bluetooth technology into its products so that we can offer customers the best possible end user experience.  Bluetooth 2.0 provides a fine tuned revision of previous Bluetooth standards. In the future we will look to add EDR to Bluetooth 2.0. Then we will see more benefits in terms of performance improvements for our headsets," said Niels-Henrik Valentin Knudsen, Jabra senior product marketing manager.

The main features of Bluetooth Core Specification Version 2.0 + EDR are:

• 3 times faster transmission speed (up to 10 times in certain cases)
• Lower power consumption through reduced duty cycle
• Simplification of multi-link scenarios due to more available bandwidth
• Backwards compatible to earlier versions
• Further improved BER (Bit Error Rate) performance
