Toshiba’s Bluetooth Low Energy range supports Bluetooth Mesh
By combining a non-proprietary mesh solution with Toshiba Bluetooth communication system solutions (which are capable of link budgets exceeding 100 dB with external PA and LNA), Toshiba extends its BLE technology to provide more reliable communication in consumer products and extend new support to rapidly growing segments such as factory automation and building management.
Support for the new Bluetooth Mesh standard 1.0 now enables Toshiba Bluetooth Low Energy products to privately and securely relay messages via a mesh network rather than requiring a point-to-point connection between devices. This increases the range and reliability of Bluetooth Low Energy communication without increasing power requirements.
A Toshiba Electronics Europe spokesman commented, “This standards-based approach means that new untapped markets, such as industrial and commercial, can now leverage ever-present Bluetooth cell phones or tablets to easily control and monitor their systems.”
Toshiba it is therefore able to deliver an increase in communication range and signal strength to deliver communications that exceed a 300m open-air range at low-power transmit and receive power levels. When combined with support for Bluetooth Mesh, Toshiba’s Bluetooth products offer a comprehensive solution for extended-range Bluetooth v4.2.
