A future version of Bluetooth will be able to increase throughput for sending videos, music, and other high-bandwidth applications by using a nearby WiFi network, the group in charge of Bluetooth development says.

Ander Edlund, European Marketing Director for the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, said the technology enabling Bluetooth connections to hop on neighboring WiFi networks is about a year from being ready. “We’re on [Bluetooth version] 2.1 now, so it might be in version 3,” Edlund said on the eve of Mobile World Congress, which opened its a four-day run Monday.
