Extend Your Personal Area Network
Bluetooth low energy technology extends your personal area network (PAN) to include Bluetooth enabled devices that are powered by small, coin-cell batteries. With low energy technology, sports and health care equipment, human interface (HIDs) and entertainment devices are enahnced. The technology can be built into products such as watches, wireless keyboards, gaming and sports sensors, which can then connect and communicate with 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:
- Ease of implementation and multi-vendor interoperability
- Ultra-low peak, average and idle mode power consumption
- 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 wireless technology.
