Bluetooth Mesh Use Cases – Smart Home

• MESH Server and Client into Platforms: Linux, RTOS, Android, IOS etc.

Design Problems Engineers Face

Mesh nodes need low-power capabilities as well as extended range

• Battery-powered applications, such as sensors and door locks, need ultra-low-power mesh node operation
• Depending on the application, mesh nodes may be far away from neighboring nodes

Bluetooth hardware design is complex with high certification costs

• Low volumes along with lack of RF experience make chip-on-board designs difficult
• Regulatory certification of Bluetooth designs are costly and very time consuming

Proper implementation of mesh requires extensive resources for software, firmware, and mobile development

• Standard Bluetooth Mesh implementation is needed for interoperability
• Mobile applications are a must for configuration and management of mesh nodes
