Participating Sessions:
Low Latency, Deterministic Bluetooth Communication for Industrial Control – is it Possible?
Low Latency, Deterministic Bluetooth Communication for Industrial Control – is it Possible?
Presenter: Pelle Svensson, Market Development Manager – Industrial Market Product Center Short Range Radio, u-blox
Date and Time: 29 September 2020, 11:45am EST
Description: Ever since its inception, interest in using Bluetooth technology in industrial manufacturing applications has been increasing, thanks, in large part, to findings by ABB Corporate Research back in 1998. Bluetooth based time-critical control applications with moderate latency requirements have been developed and in use by several companies for over a decade.
This presentation will give an overview of low latency deterministic control using Bluetooth technology, present the basic elements required to increase the acceptance of Bluetooth by the manufacturing industry, provide insights to what research has found, highlight existing applications that industrial control companies have developed, and look at what future enhancements of Bluetooth might bring.
In addition, the presentation will provide a quick introduction into specific developments, originating from Bluetooth technology, in short range, low latency, deterministic control.
A New Generation of Embedded Audio
A New Generation of Embedded Audio
Presenter: Nick Hunn, founder and CTO of WiFore Consulting
Date and Time: 29 September, 11:30am EST
Description: The last few years has seen enormous growth in wireless audio and voice, with the availability of true wireless earbuds and voice assistants. The latest Bluetooth standards provide the tools to extend the range of embedded applications for audio by using Bluetooth LE as a more power efficient transport. Along with the new, high efficiency LC3 codec, they allow far more flexibility in connection, removing the current differentiation between voice and music, as well as introducing new topologies, such as broadcast. This session explores these capabilities and examines how embedded designers can take advantage of the new capabilities.
