Application of Bluetooth low energy

Bluetooth technology has changed wireless communications between devices with its simplistic characteristics. Devices can be connected without cables and provide high levels of security. Because of its low cost and low power, Bluetooth has played a crucial role in the development of applications in all aspects of life. The reason behinds its popularity is any Bluetooth-enabled device can connect with other devices located in close range by pairing.

Bluetooth Low Energy is the smart version of Bluetooth wireless technology. BLE stands for Bluetooth Low Energy. It is playing a significant role nowadays in developments of smart gadgets. The problems classic Bluetooth suffered were quick battery draining and frequent connection loss, which required pairing and re-pairing frequently. One of the reasons of BLE's successful growth is successfully addressing these problems. Since the mobile and tablet markets have developed significantly, the need for connectivity between these devices and the outside world has tremendous growth potential.

This device is designed to consume low power. To do this, a BLE device stays in sleep mode most of the time. The device wakes when an event occurs, and a short message is transferred to a smartphone, PC or gateway. A button cell battery could give 5-10 years of reliable service for some applications.

Applications

Because of its Significant deployment in portable devices, BLE can be used in almost all industries.

Medicine: A patients physical condition such as blood pressure details or glucose monitor could report its status over BLE.

Smart Kitchen: Some BLE enabled devices will help you monitor and track your eating habits for weight loss. Another application could be a frying pan that checks the exact temperature inside your steak or salmon and let you know when it’s ready without having to try it out.

Store: A customer can view product list or menu of the participating store, select the product and quantity and check out without queues. More personalized experience can be provided by tracking customers movement.

Navigations: GPS works well in outdoor, but it fails in indoor navigation. A BLE can help you give more accurate indoor navigation in large shopping malls, hospital, airport, In an arena etc. A museum can place Bluetooth device at each of their objects and link them to a short presentation.
