Design Considerations for Bluetooth Mesh Across Industrial and Home Environments

Bluetooth is a ubiquitous communications protocol, with countless applications in consumer electronics, the home, industrial automation, and asset tracking. With BLE Mesh now added as a network layer, there are even greater opportunities for simultaneous control and monitoring of hundreds (or even thousands!) of devices. These new capabilities come with added complexity for developers. In this session, noted industry expert Brian Bedrosian will discuss the key benefits of BLE Mesh and educate attendees about design considerations for BLE Mesh networks including: the node architecture and elements, Server and Client models, certification, as well as considerations for software development kits (SDK) and mobile applications. Using lighting control as an example, attendees will come away from the session with a practical understanding of how to build successful BLE Mesh products.
