Low-power Bluetooth module (BLE): refers to support for Bluetooth protocol 4.0 or higher module, also known as BLE module (Bluetooh Low Energy Module).BLE Bluetooth module's role is simply to replace the wired connection with a wireless connection, fixed and mobile information devices to form a personal LAN, to realize the low-cost wireless between the devices. The BLE Bluetooth module is a low energy module that can be used in a variety of applications.
BLE Bluetooth module features:
Low power consumption, support for standard Bluetooth BLE protocol
Master and slave in one, fast switching
Multiple configuration modes, serial AT commands, through the transmission of AT commands
Support for 1-to-many broadcasting modes, built-in iBeacon protocol
Support for Mesh networking. Realize Bluetooth self-organized network
Support UART interface, user MCU directly use the serial communication mode to communicate with the Bluetooth module
Bluetooth will be committed to promoting what areas of connectivity?
1, building automation
According to ABI Research, by 2022, the number of Bluetooth-connected devices in the field of intelligent building automation will reach 1 billion units per year. By then Bluetooth technology will enable the intelligence of places like smart homes and smart offices.
2, industrial automation
Because of the networking characteristics of Bluetooth Mesh and Bluetooth low-power performance, is very suitable for sensor network application scenarios, such as industrial automation, a wide variety of sensors throughout the factory corners of the collection of equipment information on the equipment management and predictive operation and maintenance.
Note: Although the industrial field has always had its own communication protocol standards, but most of them are wired protocols designed to meet the needs of security, reliability, no packet loss, etc. The low-power Bluetooth Mesh protocol is a rare protocol in the communication protocols with no packet loss, which is very consistent with the communication needs of the industrial field.
3, asset tracking and positioning
Hospitals, factories and other complex application scenarios, through the Bluetooth Beacon, you can describe the trajectory of the movement of the assets and equipment, navigation and asset management, so as to protect the expensive equipment and improve the utilization rate of the equipment.
Currently SKYLAB BLE Bluetooth modules have been widely used in location tags, asset tracking, motion and fitness sensors, medical sensors, smartwatches, remote controls, toys and other products, more BLE Bluetooth module application selection can be directly accessed on the SKYLAB official website or Ali store.
