Bluetooth Training Bootcamp
There have been various updated Bluetooths over the years, but they all have two things in common:
- Backward compatibility
- They allow devices to communicate wirelessly
The most current Bluetooth, Bluetooth 5.0, has three versions alone, which have been released between 2019 and 2021.
Every new Bluetooth has delivered better metrics, especially in the area of range. For example, Bluetooth 1 was only good for a range of 10 meters (33 feet), while Bluetooth 5 covers a much improved 240 meters (800 feet).
And now there’s yet another Bluetooth on the horizon, Bluetooth 6.0 that bests them all plus brings the kind of innovation that has separated 5G from all its predecessors.
Bluetooth has also been associated with trends. For 2023, Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) technologies are enabling new IoT use cases, opening a wide range of applications that promise significant and sustainable growth.
Audio streaming is also making a move. Low-energy Bluetooth technologies are opening new applications for sharing audio with multiple users, enabling safer on-the-job communications, and making the world more accessible for people needing hearing assistance.
Another trend served up by Bluetooth: the use of Bluetooth for indoor navigation and wayfinding.
From airports and train stations to museums and hospitals, Bluetooth indoor positioning systems (IPS) have quickly become the standard for overcoming the indoor coverage challenges of GPS, helping visitors navigate their ways through complex facilities.
An incredible 77% of Bluetooth location services implementations include indoor navigation. Whether it’s Bluetooth RSSI radio networks, AoD beacons, or even Bluetooth capabilities built into Wi-Fi or wireless lighting systems, consumers can more easily navigate complex facilities simply by utilizing their smart devices.
Digital keys are also made possible because of Bluetooth technology.
Bluetooth technology enables smartphones to be used as convenient and secure digital keys, unlocking doors and spaces as you approach your car, home, office building, and more.
Devices with Bluetooth-powered key applications grant access to a door when the user is within a certain proximity or when they initiate access on their smart device. Built-in security features of smart devices (e.g., face recognition, passcodes, etc.) add an additional layer of security to digital keys.
Bluetooth Training Bootcamp Course by Tonex
Bluetooth Training Bootcamp, is a 3-days Hands-on Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth LE (BLE) Training Bootcamp with workshops, and exercises. This is a practical Classic Bluetooth and BLE Training with hands-on activities.
Learn about Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) wireless technology standards. Both Classic Bluetooth and BLE operate in the 2400-2483.5 MHz range within the ISM 2.4 GHz frequency band. In Classic Bluetooth, data is split into packets and exchanged through Bluetooth channels (79 designated channels, 1 MHz in bandwidth).
Bluetooth Classic is a good fit for consumer products vs. BLE with lower power consumption for Machine to Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT). BLE also operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and unlike classic Bluetooth it remains in sleep mode most of the time (low duty cycle).
