Bluetooth technology alliance officially released Bluetooth Mesh technology
July 19, 2017, Bluetooth Technology Association (Bluetooth Special Interest Group, referred to as SIG) officially released Mesh Specification1.0 version, Bluetooth (Bluetooth?) Technology began to fully support Mesh mesh network.
Bluetooth Mesh technology optimizes the network connection between devices and devices in large areas, making this technology ideal for applications such as smart home, sensor networks, and precise location of items. At present, only Mesh network can rely on already very mature Bluetooth technology through the creation of industrial-grade equipment to connect the network to bring mature, global equipment interconnection of the Internet of things ecosystem.
Bluetooth Mesh application scenario:
1. Smart home
Modern smart home system, the family of TV lights, washing machines, refrigerator door locks, etc., can be equipped with Bluetooth low power technology has become more intelligent. Bluetooth Mesh can be connected to hundreds of thousands of devices in a building or in a building so that we can easily control all the electronic devices in the Mesh network through a control device to create a convenient, secure and reliable Intelligent home ecosystem
2. Wireless sensor network
At present, the global wireless sensor network (WSN) market is developing rapidly, especially the industrial wireless sensor (IWSN), many large companies have invested a lot of money for WSN research and improvement. The Bluetooth Mesh network design because of high security, to a wide range of networking, reliability and strong characteristics of exactly fit the IWSN networking requirements.
Future Bluetooth Mesh + Sensor will build a global intelligent plant.
3. Item tracking positioning
Because Bluetooth low-power technology supports broadcast topology, which makes it more suitable for RFID than the tracking and positioning of the scene. At the same time, the Bluetooth broadcast function with Bluetooth Mesh networking, greatly "enhance" the scope of the Bluetooth radio positioning, so that people can in the building or complex large shopping malls can be very easy to accurately locate the items to be sought.
