Bluetooth 5.0 is a Bluetooth technology standard proposed by the Bluetooth Technology Alliance in 2016. Bluetooth 5.0 has a corresponding increase and optimization for the speed of low-power devices. Bluetooth 5.0 combines WiFi to assist in positioning indoor locations, increasing transmission speed and increasing effective working distance.
1) Bluetooth 5.0 is aimed at low-power devices, with wider coverage and a four-fold increase in speed.
2) Bluetooth 5.0 will add an auxiliary function for indoor positioning, combined with WiFi, indoor positioning with an accuracy of less than 1 meter can be achieved.
3) The upper limit of the transmission speed in low power consumption mode is 2Mbps, which is twice that of the previous 4.2LE version.
4) The effective working distance can reach 300 meters, which is 4 times that of the previous 4.2LE version.
5) Add navigation function to achieve 1 meter indoor positioning.
6) In order to meet the needs of mobile clients, it has lower power consumption and is compatible with older versions.
The Bluetooth gateway expands and extends the Bluetooth signal to realize the large-scale connection and networking of multiple Bluetooth devices. It can expand the Bluetooth transmission distance to 300 meters. The main advantages are: low power consumption and low cost. Obviously, Bluetooth gateways have huge application scenarios in the Internet of Things industry. What characteristics should Bluetooth gateways have?
1) Bluetooth long-distance transmission: For Bluetooth 4 terminal devices, a transmission distance of 300 meters in an open field can be achieved. If both parties are in the Bluetooth 5 state, the Bluetooth gateway can help them extend their transmission distance to several kilometers.
2) One-to-many data collection: The Bluetooth gateway adopts two-way communication technology, supports up to 40 devices at the same time, and can scan more than 300 Bluetooth broadcast packets per second. The Bluetooth IoT controller works with multiple Bluetooth gateways to track and report the location of Bluetooth low energy devices within its coverage area, provide real-time geographic location data, and achieve real-time tracking of personnel and assets.
3) Easy management: The IoT controller provides users with a concise and unified web interface, which can manage and control thousands of Bluetooth gateways and terminal devices at the same time, which greatly simplifies the deployment and management of the enterprise IoT.
4) The Bluetooth gateway has enabled Bluetooth to realize remote control and routing.
5) Support edge computing (third-party applications): pave the way for high real-time, high reliability and high scalability IoT applications.
