Bluetooth Mesh lays a framework for large-scale industrial deployments using technology that is already secure, reliable, and supported by all smartphones.

Dig below the hype and you’ll discover there are real benefits to mesh networking.

Mesh networking with Bluetooth has a bright future. By taking advantage of existing lighting systems you open the door to huge added value possibilities, both for your business and its customers.

Utilizing low power options, wireless mesh networking opens up for added value in industrial and commercial environments.

Building a network for an IoT application involves making trade-offs based on key parameters such as power efficiency, latency, wireless range, bandwidth and scalability. But not all applications have the same requirements. For corporations seeking to leverage benefits from industrial IoT, a lot of very different applications will contribute.

The difference between security and privacy is one of the most misunderstood aspects of the IoT revolution. Bluetooth mesh blows privacy problems out of the water.

The internet for the physical world – sensors, motors, pumps and valves – takes another step forward with the launch of the Particle Mesh development kits.

The vice president of Bluetooth Special Interest Group said that he expects to see mesh networking technology play a bigger role in the smart home technologies being developed by the South Korean tech giants.

Mesh networks offer great advantages for IoT in the business world. They allow larger-scale deployments to be achieved easier and cheaper than regular networking models. But things are different in the smart home.
