Seven reasons why Bluetooth is perfect for Industrial IoT

▤ Summary

Here u-blox wanted to emphasize this and have therefore put together seven reasons why designers of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems should consider Bluetooth as their communication backbone. It is extremely immune to interference Bluetooth has smart ways to ensure that messages successfully reach their destination, even though it uses the high-traffic 2.4GHz ISM band (which shares with WiFi, ZigBee, and others). Data packets that do not reach their destination are resent, and if the problem is caused by the channel, it will be flagged to prevent it from happening in the future. It is equally important that Bluetooths automatic power control ensures that the data is transmitted in the required strength so that, with little disruption, there are no excessive transmissions. Second, devices with Bluetooth 4.2 or higher use a coupling mechanism that prevents data from being intercepted during man-in-the-middle attacks during transmission (LE Secure Connections).
