Imagination and Packetcraft have come together to create a complete and proven Low Energy Audio solution combining Imagination’s iEB110 Bluetooth v5.2 hardware IP, Packetcraft’s open source Bluetooth Low Energy host stack and the new Low Complexity Communication codec (LC3), which brings superior performance compared to the sub-band codec (SBC) used in Bluetooth Classic. At just […]
Data-integrated manufacturing is a big step up in productivity in the manufacturing world. At least, it’s supposed to be. By allowing technology to handle greater amounts of your manufacturing process, you cut down on labor costs, reduce human error, and can manufacture your goods more quickly than you can in more human-focused manufacturing environments. Mindy […]
Learn how Philips partnered with Cassia Networks to help fight the spread of COVID-19 in a major Dutch hospital using Philips’ Biosensor BX100 and Cassia’s Bluetooth gateways and IoT Access Controller. Mindy DolanMindy Dolan is the Senior Marketing Program Manager for the Bluetooth SIG, dedicated to creating ongoing awareness of the amazing capabilities of Bluetooth […]
The age of real-time data is upon us. We can now collect and process more data than we could have dreamed of even a decade or so ago. Complex machine learning algorithms can crunch all of that data and give us insights on how to improve efficiency. With BLE tracking, you can put those innovations […]
Watch to see how the Bluetooth mesh standard together with D4i can help facility managers make good use of luminaire data, energy data, and diagnostic data to make better decisions and more accurate predictions, and find out what lighting companies should do today to unlock the full potential of Bluetooth mesh lighting control systems. Mindy […]
With its low-cost and low-power features, Bluetooth® Low Energy technology has become the foundation for a wide range of applications. One example is using Bluetooth beacons to create a real-time location system, which is a positioning system that can monitor the whereabouts of equipment or people. So what role does Bluetooth play in this type of application? […]
As stay-at-home orders and business closures extend, a lot of us are starting to think about what happens after the various lockdowns end. A rapid return to the prior normal is impossible, at least until we have a vaccine. Employers and building managers need to start thinking now about what they can do to control […]
As managed environments turn to wearables to help keep people safe, extended battery life and battery-free solutions will be critical for device fleets In April, Apple and Google made headlines when they announced a partnership to make it easier for governments and health agencies to roll out COVID-19 exposure notifications systems. These applications will work […]
The COVID-19 epidemic has brought many things to the forefront. Among them are the need for smart buildings that can monitor occupants, trace contacts, and support the safety of workers and visitors alike. We talk a lot about smart offices and smart homes, but less about the smart factory and what it can bring to […]
There is no one-size-fits-all plan when it comes to the infrastructures that support indoor location-based solutions. Every deployment has its own unique requirements, setting and context. Broadly speaking, we can group most installations into two categories, beacon-based and gateway (or access point-based). Their separate categories result from the fundamental differences in their missions. Each is […]
