WHY BLUETOOTH?


• Communication between peers in the same location, few meters apart.

• Save mobile data and power by communicating with other peers.

• Low power consumption than communication via mobile data or wifi.

• Every mobile device has Bluetooth working at all location, but not all can have data connection at all location.

• Easily adaptable technology for communicating with other peripheral devices within the mobility space.

BLUETOOTH OR BLE, CONFUSED ?


Traditional Bluetooth

or Bluetooth BR (Basic

Rate)

• Relatively High Power Consumption

• Speeds up to 2.3 mbps for enhanced data rates

• Complicated Pairing• Not Standard

BLE or Bluetooth LE (Low Energy)

• Low Power Consumption

• Low Speed• Lower Complexity• Low Cost and Standard
