Internet of Things is accelerating into our daily life and all walks of life, the connection between people and things, things and more and more intelligent and convenient, wireless communications become the invisible bridge in the Internet of Things connection, and Bluetooth as the mainstream Wireless communication technology has played a crucial role in IoT applications.
Why choose Bluetooth?
Currently, there are many wireless communication technologies used in the Internet of Things. WiFi, ZigBee, and NB-Iot technologies are strong supports for the development of the Internet of Things and have wide application scenarios in various fields of the Internet of Things. So, why do we need to choose Bluetooth?
In response, SIG senior strategic planning director Chuck Sabin said that the Internet of Things has multiple modes of connection depending on the application scenario. Bluetooth can implement multi-level connectivity such as audio, location and application connection in the Internet of Things, which enables application vendors Better meet customer needs. In addition, Bluetooth is a very sophisticated technology that has been used universally in mobile phones, tablets, and other PC devices and smart wearables. At the same time, Bluetooth has good global connectivity and Bluetooth is a great choice for anyone who wants to develop a universal product. And, as Bluetooth Mesh technology continues to improve, Bluetooth will be more adaptable to the Internet of Things.
What areas Bluetooth will be committed to promoting the connection?
1, building automation
According to ABI Research, by 2022, the number of Bluetooth connectivity devices in the field of intelligent building automation will reach 1 billion units per year. By the time Bluetooth technology will enable intelligent home and smart office and other places of intelligence.
2, industrial automation
Due to the networking characteristics of Bluetooth Mesh and the low power consumption of Bluetooth, it is very suitable for the sensor network application scenarios, such as industrial automation, a variety of sensors throughout the factory to collect device information to manage and predict equipment operation dimension.
Note: Although industry has always had its own communication protocol standards, most of them are wired protocols that are designed to meet the requirements of security, reliability and no packet loss. Low-power Bluetooth Mesh protocols are rare in communication protocols Package agreement, very much in line with the industrial needs of the communications.
3, asset tracking and positioning
Hospitals, factories and other complex scenarios, through the Bluetooth Beacon, you can describe the movement of assets and equipment tracks, navigation and asset management, thereby protecting the expensive equipment, improve equipment utilization.
The scene of the Internet of Things presents fragmented characteristics. Different communication technologies are applicable to different scenarios according to their own characteristics. However, the deep-fluent technology is to provide more convenient Bluetooth access for the Internet of Things.
