Description

Abstract

Bluetooth has been re-invented.  Bluetooth Low Energy is optimized for two things: simple applications; run on coin cells for years.  The layers from the antenna up to the applications support middleware are all published in the 2010 Bluetooth 4.0 specification.  The first wave of those applications are in development; dozens will be specified in the next year.  Soon there will be support in mobile phones, PCs and other internet gateways.

This talk will address a few questions: what is Bluetooth Low Energy? how does it work?  how does it compare to classic Bluetooth and to Zigbee (IEEE 802.15.4)?  what is it good for?  where do we learn more?
