Bluetooth® technology meets LoRaWAN: A practical guide to hybrid connectivity in IoT products
Bluetooth® LE and LoRaWAN address distinct but complementary connectivity challenges: Bluetooth® technology excels in flexible, low-power applications and seamless user interaction, while LoRaWAN offers long-range, low-bandwidth communication ideal for wide-area monitoring and alerting. But what happens when you combine them?
In this session, we explore how integrating Bluetooth® and LoRaWAN technologies unlocks advanced capabilities such as flexible data delivery, rich telemetry and diagnostics, and simplified device commissioning. Drawing on real-world examples, we demonstrate how hybrid designs can improve device lifecycle management, simplify operations, and enable scalable, efficient deployments.
You will gain insights into:
- How Bluetooth® technology and LoRaWAN can work together to support a wide range of IoT use cases
- Using Bluetooth® technology for tasks like OTA updates and commissioning, and LoRaWAN for low-latency data delivery and alerting
- Architectural patterns and implementation strategies for hybrid IoT devices that optimise for coverage, power efficiency, and deployment simplicity
