WHAT EXACTLY IS BLE (BLUETOOTH LOW ENERGY)?
Hello, envisions friends, Maybe some of you have never heard of the term Bluetooth Low Energy." Bluetooth Low Energy, or BLE, is the latest protocol from Bluetooth that optimizes Bluetooth performance in the aspect of effective power use so that it consumes less power than conventional Bluetooth.
When connected, Bluetooth requires battery power to transfer data quickly. As a visual and audio data traffic protocol, Bluetooth requires energy to activate its transmitter or receiver.
Without sufficient energy intake, Bluetooth-based wireless devices will experience several problems, such as:
- Difficult to connect (pair) with devices.
- Intermittent signal
- Decreased sound quality (common with Bluetooth headsets)
- Latency (delay) has increased.
This is the background behind the discovery of BLE. In terms of the effectiveness of power use, this technology creates seamless interactions that do not consume a lot of battery energy for devices that use it.
This is certainly a big step in the development of wireless technology. As we know, wireless technology is known to waste batteries because most of the energy is used for frequency optimization.
Advantages of BLE Technology
BL technology also has many advantages, includes:
- Even if it is 10 meters away, Bluetooth is not affected by various types of obstacles, such as walls and soon. That means you can still send and receive data even if the room is blocked by various objects.
- Bluetooth is a practical technology because it does not require cables or wires.
- Can synchronize data from a computer to a smartphone and vice versa.
- Use it as an intermediary modem.
Lack of BLE technology
Although Ble technology has several advantages, it also has several drawbacks:
- Connection limit per gateway.
- If security is not set properly, it is undeniable that sending data via Bluetooth can carry viruses.
BLUETOOTH LOW ENERGY CONNECTION WITH IOT
Bluetooth Low Energy is more environmentally friendly and has been specially developed to facilitate IoT devices. Today's technological advances allow various household devices, such as washing machines, stoves, and refrigerators, to be connected to the internet. The goal is to facilitate human work so that it is more efficient.
When connected to the IoT, our daily work can be controlled via smart devices, such as smartphones or tablets. Now you no longer need to turn on and off the washing machine or stove manually because these commands can be carried out by simply touching a button on your smartphone.
Coming back to Bluetooth Low Energy, its advantages in saving energy have made it the most compatible option for IoT. Bluetooth Low Energy is more energy efficient than ZigBee, Bluetooth Classic, and WiFi, which means that Bluetooth Low Energy can support IoT device connectivity better with a longer operational life than others.
BLE TECHNOLOGY APPLICATION TO ENVISIONS PRODUCTS
With the various advantages of Ble Technology, Envisions applies this technology to a variety of products, including:
- Smart Patrol: Ble technology is used for the Guard Tour feature, where it can provide feedback in the form of a patrol survey that must be filled out by security according to the assets visited.
- Visitor Management System: Ble technology is used for the people tracking feature contained in the VMS application. Ble technology provides feedback on guest whereabouts data according to the assets visited.
- Machine tracking: Ble technology provides feedback data in the form of machine presence.
From the explanation above, it can be concluded that Ble technology is the latest Bluetooth protocol that optimizes Bluetooth performance in terms of the effectiveness of power use so that it consumes less power than conventional Bluetooth. This technology can support IoT connectivity with a longer operational life. This will certainly help your company work dynamically and be integrated with each other with the help of IoT technology supported by Ble Technology. Want to know more? You can contact us!
