What is low energy?
Low energy is the next step in the Bluetooth wireless technology evolution. Consuming a fraction of the power, it will give consumers new ways and new places – like sports, wellness and entertainment – to put Bluetooth technology in use.
Bluetooth low energy technology is an open, globally viable radio technology for small devices. It addresses devices with very low battery capacity and is easily integrated with traditional Bluetooth technology.
Personal Area Networking enters a new dimension
Bluetooth low energy technology extends your personal area network to include watches and toys, sports and health care equipment, human interface (HIDs) and entertainment devices. The technology can be built into products such as watches, wireless keyboards, gaming and sports sensors, which can then connect to host devices such as mobile phones and personal computers.
In a market full of narrow, local proprietary connectivity solutions, Bluetooth low energy technology differentiates itself through its:
- Connection to internet (via mobile phone)
- Global, royalty free standard
- Ease of implementation
- Low cost of integration
- Power handling
- Resistance to interference
Bluetooth low energy technology enhances existing use cases and enables new ones, widening the marketplace for Bluetooth technology.
