A new breakthrough in Bluetooth technology: aiming at the Internet of Things, connecting 14 billion devices

In 2015, the global IoT field grew rapidly. The business deployment and strategic investment of major Chinese brands in the IoT field has shown importance for the smart home market. To this end, the Bluetooth Technology Alliance has recently opened all Bluetooth gateway architectures to help developers quickly add Bluetooth products to Bluetooth gateways.

Steve Hegenderfer, director of the Bluetooth Technology Alliance Developer Program, said at a recent press conference in Beijing that the new architecture allows everyone to remotely detect and control fixed Bluetooth-enabled sensors. Potential applications in the Internet of Things field.

"The evolution of Bluetooth technology will further inject more momentum into high-growth industries including smart homes, industrial automation, location-based services and smart infrastructure," He Genfei said.

As we all know, Bluetooth technology, Zigbee, Wi-Fi are three mainstream wireless connection technologies. Bluetooth is known for its ultra-low power consumption of point-to-point. Zigbee is known for its low power consumption and MESH self-organizing network, while Wi-Fi is high with big data. The belt is known for transmission. To enhance the application of the Internet of Things, the Bluetooth Alliance released the 2016 Bluetooth technology blueprint and no developers have provided relevant tools.

ABI's market tracking report released in 2015 shows that in 2020, the number of IoT installed capacity will reach 45 billion, of which IoT interconnection devices using Bluetooth connectivity will reach 14 billion, accounting for about one-third of the total number of connections.

Bluetooth technology blueprint: farther, faster, Mesh

In the face of the massive connection opportunities brought by IoT, traditional Bluetooth technology is no longer suitable. He Genfei pointed out that the Bluetooth technology roadmap will change: low-power Bluetooth technology will have longer communication distance and faster speed, Mesh network will open more possibilities for home and industrial automation applications.

Specifically, first of all, in terms of longer communication distance, the communication distance of low-power Bluetooth technology has increased four times, which will change the smart home and infrastructure applications, bringing a wider and more comprehensive home or outdoor use case. Robust connection.

Secondly, in terms of faster speed, the transmission speed of Bluetooth technology will also double on the basis of no increase in energy consumption, which can help faster applications such as medical equipment to achieve faster data transmission, improve response capability and reduce delay.

Finally, the Mesh-enabled Bluetooth network allows Bluetooth devices to connect to each other across the entire building or the entire home network, opening up more possibilities for home and industrial automation applications.

Bring three major solutions to the market

The evolving Bluetooth technology brings multiple solutions to the IoT market. He Genfei pointed out that Beacon first, many people think that Beacon is only used in the retail environment, but this is only a small application in the Beacon market. In fact, Beacon is everywhere, and can be widely used in security, industry and agriculture. .

Followed by positioning and discovery. He Genfei said that Bluetooth technology will take indoor positioning applications to a new level. For example, to help users quickly find boarding gates, restaurants and bars at airports and train stations, to provide guided tours in zoos, museums and other places of visit, to track the factory environment and workers in an industrial environment to improve production efficiency, even in life Blind people provide precise navigation.

The third is a smarter automation solution. With Mesh's networking capabilities, devices throughout the building or the entire home network can be connected to each other, which enables a better and more flexible solution for home, building and industrial automation. For example, Mesh networks are used to quickly find lost children in buildings, even in car applications such as autonomous driving to sense the direction, orientation and speed of surrounding cars.

Provide developers with three great tools

Developers are important players in the rapid development of Bluetooth technology. To encourage and facilitate developers to develop innovative solutions and products, the Bluetooth Technology Alliance introduces a range of development tools including Bluetooth Developer Studio, Bluetooth Gateway, Accelerator and Smart Development Kit.

It is reported that Bluetooth-enabled sensors can connect to gateway devices via Bluetooth technology, transfer data to the cloud and exchange data. The architecture extends the potential applications of the Internet of Things by allowing remote monitoring and control of fixed, Bluetooth-enabled sensors.

Talking about how Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technology will develop in the future, He Genfei introduced that the two technical alliances have maintained good communication and maintained the basic principle of non-intervention in bandwidth. It's hard to imagine that any solution in the future will not be connected through the three technologies of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and cellular. At the same time, there is no doubt that Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are two very complementary technologies.

Many companies are optimistic about the application of Bluetooth technology in the field of Internet of Things. He Genfei introduced that the number of members of the Bluetooth Technology Alliance has grown rapidly, with more than 28,500 as of the end of 2015, an increase of 14% compared to last year. The number of members in the Asia Pacific region is growing equally rapidly, with an annual growth rate of 13%.
