It’s been one week since the launch of the Bluetooth® mesh networking standard, and across the wireless connectivity industry people are talking about how Bluetooth mesh will shape the next evolution of solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT).
Our Members Make It Possible
Our members played a critical role in developing Bluetooth mesh. Some members, likeWireless Cables, Qualcomm, Silicon Labs, and Silvair, are actively promoting this new wireless technology.
Silvair is the first Bluetooth SIG member to qualify and declare a Bluetooth mesh solution, opening a new chapter in the evolution of connected lighting technologies. They offer a number of solutions compliant with the recently adopted standard. These include a complete and flexible implementation of the core Bluetooth mesh networking stack, which allows lighting manufacturers to easily incorporate a robust and reliable wireless communication technology into LEDs, drivers, switches, and sensors.
A Global Impact
The impact of the new Bluetooth mesh standard was also felt on the other side of the world. APAC publications, including Esmchina.com, EETimes Japan, Nikkei Technology –Tetsuo Nozawa, Electronic News, Commercial Times, Digitimes, and Business Next all published comprehensive articles outlining Bluetooth mesh’s capability to enable many-to-many device communications, and how it could lead to big opportunities for Bluetooth in the Industrial IoT market.
