Length: 3 Days
Bluetooth Training Bootcamp
Bluetooth Training Bootcamp is a 3-day course where participants learn about Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) wireless technology standards.
Bluetooth technology is a standardized short-range wireless communication technology that uses a low-power radio frequency that enables advantages for organizations, such as:
- Low cost
- Interoperable
- Sucks up very little energy
- Allows completely different electronic devices to communicate
Bluetooth technology is popular because Bluetooth can work between any two enabled devices and does not require additional network equipment such as routers or modems. This makes Bluetooth an excellent choice for sending data between mobile electronics over close ranges.
Cellphones, laptops, PDAs, and car stereos communicate to each other with Bluetooth wireless technology. You can link devices without cables and you can move with your network easily as Bluetooth‘s transmission range is about 30 feet.
A primary use case of Bluetooth Low Energy in manufacturing is the ability to track Work In Process assets.
This is valuable as it helps with improving operational efficiencies throughout the supply chain. With the use of asset tracking devices enabled with Bluetooth Low Energy, managers can track bottlenecks in their production system, and then ensure they are received by the next point in the manufacturing pipeline in a timely manner.
Bluetooth technology has been a godsend for many small to medium businesses, especially those on tight budgets.
Bluetooth’s short range makes it ideal for office situations with several enabled devices in close proximity, and the technology can also be used to transfer files from computers to mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones to transport information out of the office.
Bluetooth has also made its mark in retail. Speed, agility and efficiency are what retailers look for. Thanks to Bluetooth technology, advanced tools are evolving day by day to support retail businesses.
Bluetooth reduces expenses and improves the planning process. Additionally it provides organizations with a competitive edge to thrive and grow in the market.
And Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) technologies continue to expand use cases year after year such as enabling new IoT use cases, opening a wide range of applications that promise significant and sustainable growth.
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).
