Last year, the Bluetooth Special
Interest Group announced the availability for all manufacturers of
the new Bluetooth 5.0 standard. This is announced as twice as much
faster than Bluetooth 4.2 and with a range 4 times greater.
This organization has just announced support for the Mesh functionality or
mesh network for Bluetooth, which allows connected objects to
communicate with each otheretto extend the reach of
communication en Bluetooth.
By communicating with each other, the various connected objects can create a
mesh network which allows a command to be transferred to a connected object
out of Bluetooth range in a building or large house.
This new Mesh feature is available for all accessories
using at least Bluetooth LE 4.0, the current standard
used pending adoption in future Bluetooth devices
5.0.
However, you will have to wait for a software update on the devices
existing to have the Mesh and allow users to benefit from the
advantages of mesh network in large homes or buildings.
The Galaxy S8 is the first smartphone to feature Bluetooth 5.0 and
the iPhone 8 could also be there, which promises many
improvements in the field of connected objects.
