As part of the Bluetooth 5 specification, Bluetooth Mesh has extended Bluetooth low energy wireless connectivity to multi-node applications in consumer products, smart homes, and industrial IoT applications since its inception. SKYLAB has also successively launched SKB369, a Bluetooth module product that supports Mesh networking, and a smart lighting solution based on Bluetooth Mesh. In this article, SKYLAB will analyze from a technical point of view, how the Internet of Things makes Mesh networking technology shine.
Bluetooth 5.0/Bluetooth Mesh
The first step is to understand what is Bluetooth Mesh networking technology. By definition, a Bluetooth Mesh network is a new network topology of Bluetooth Low Energy (also known as BLE) for establishing many-to-many (many: many) device communication. Simply put, it allows you to create a large network based on multiple devices. The network can contain dozens, hundreds or even thousands of Bluetooth Mesh devices. These devices can transfer information to each other. Undoubtedly, such an application form Ideal for building automation, wireless sensor networks, asset tracking and other solutions.
Bluetooth Mesh Topology
Bluetooth mesh networking is an efficient and purposeful topology that has emerged to meet the demanding requirements of the Internet of Things. The Bluetooth mesh network has a maximum capacity of more than 32,000 nodes and a width of up to 126 hops, so that information can be transmitted across the entire network. That is to say, a smartphone can connect to all devices in the network, and even if these devices are distributed in a wide area, they can still connect and communicate normally. There is no doubt that such an application form provides an ideal choice for building automation, wireless sensor networks, asset tracking and other solutions.
Widely used Bluetooth Mesh
Driven by the demand for IoT technology, Bluetooth technology also benefits from its features such as intelligence, low power consumption, and high connection speed, and has also shown explosive growth in the IoT market. The new Mesh function provides many-to-many transmission between devices, and especially improves the communication capability of building large-scale network coverage. It is suitable for building automation, wireless sensor networks, etc. that require tens of thousands of devices to transmit in a reliable and safe environment. IoT solutions.
BluetoothMesh
To drive the next evolution of IoT solutions, the need for reliable, scalable, and secure wireless connectivity is critical. Only Bluetooth Mesh can provide the industrial-grade, government-grade, multi-layered security required by the Internet of Things.
Bluetooth Mesh Module
The SKYLAB Bluetooth module R&D team is committed to the research and development of BLE Bluetooth module functionality and energy saving, so that BLE Bluetooth module can bring more wireless connection applications to IoT daily devices. In the network created by Bluetooth Mesh, these devices can communicate with each other like never before. All chip-embedded devices in the home, office and on the road can be connected, laying the foundation for a future where everything is connected.
Bluetooth Mesh Module
BLE Bluetooth module for Bluetooth Mesh networking - SKB369 is a highly integrated Bluetooth 4.2/5.0 low-power module, designed for wireless 2.4GHz ISM high-speed transmission! It supports ANT/NFC protocol, can also realize one master and multiple slave mode, supports Mesh networking, realizes information exchange between multiple devices, and has been successfully applied to Mesh lighting control solutions.
