Bluetooth technology announces support for Mesh mesh network, smart lighting platform looks more functional

The Bluetooth Mesh mesh network, which many devices expect, has finally arrived! Bluetooth Special Interest (SIG Group) yesterday (19) officially announced that Bluetooth (Bluetooth) technology began to support the Mesh mesh network, is expected to make things more diverse scenarios.

What is the Mesh mesh network? Mesh network can provide multiple transmission device, and improve the efficiency for a wide range of devices before the network communication, and compared to the Bluetooth point-to-point transmission (P2P), composed of two single node on the communication network, the Mesh network will each device as a single node in the network, that is to say, let all the nodes connected to each other, to expand the transmission range and scale, and makes each device can communicate with each other.

Bluetooth Technology Alliance CEO Mark Powell said, import Mesh network support, a symbol of Bluetooth membership has always been committed to assist the vigorous development of emerging markets in the future of traditional, "just as the introduction of low-power Bluetooth Technology (Bluetooth Low Energy), for connecting device market growth, we believe that the Bluetooth Mesh mesh network technology will play an important promoter of emerging markets, promote the building automation and wireless sensor networks such as the fast growing market."

Bluetooth technology alliance that Bluetooth Mesh technology is applied to building automation (Building Automation), wireless sensor network (Sensor Networks) to multiple devices, or even tens of thousands of transmission in a stable and secure environment of networking solutions, such as for commercial buildings and factory automation.

In addition, the Bluetooth Technology Alliance in 20 years has been committed to providing complete authentication tools and processes, global interoperability of Bluetooth technology provided by Mesh, will ensure that all kinds of different brands of products each other collocation operation. Russ Sharer, vice president of global marketing and business development at Fulham, the US LED maker, said that interoperability among brands was an important factor in determining the market's pace of growth. "We believe that Bluetooth Mesh technology will substantially expand the size and function of the market."

The Bluetooth technology alliance also points out that Mesh networks built with Bluetooth technology can support additional services, such as asset tracking and navigation. Silvair, President of the Poland smart lighting company, is also chairman of the Bluetooth Mesh working group Szymon Slupik said, "like it is now building automation market more and more attention to the networking and lighting, can play the role of fully automated building service platform. A smart lighting platform built on top of Bluetooth Mesh, which also supports asset tracking, landmark and navigation services, believes these add value functions are one of the reasons for Bluetooth's most desirable technologies for building Mesh networks."
