What applications will benefit from Bluetooth low energy technology?
Bluetooth low energy technology is more than a small additional feature within Bluetooth technology. This hallmark feature of v4.0 of the Bluetooth Core Specification has rather been redesigned from bottom up to address small sensor devices. Small, interoperable sensors powered by Bluetooth technology can now become reality. A strong benefit for consumer electronics-based specifications that will always favor interoperability over proprietary solutions. The low energy technology profiles will include support for health and fitness, medical, automotive, home and many other markets and the continued development of fully interoperable Bluetooth devices. This means that if you buy a pair of weighing scales, or a Bluetooth low energy heart rate strap, they will always interoperate with other Bluetooth devices, regardless of the manufacturer. This interoperability is tested via the unique Bluetooth Qualification program The new version of the Bluetooth specification has a number of features
