Bluetooth 5. Experience anyone?


Recommended Posts

Not hype, in my opinion. And that article neglects to mention an additional advantage: mesh networking capability. Mesh networks are well suited to Internet-of-things (IoT) applications.

 

In my opinion, Bluetooth mesh standard, a Low Energy (Bluetooth LE) sister standard is ideally suited to lighting control.

Maybe this will become the defacto standard for short range comms and larger meshe's in the consumer space but has its limitations.  I am still wondering which will win bluetooth or wifi not sure who is attacking or defending given the space is relatively undeveloped.  The bluetooth security in v5 might help but the extended range of v5 makes the security weakness of bluetooth even more of a problem. Lower power demand of bluetooth is always a plus but even v5 limits the data rate to 2mbps IIRC.
