Overview of this book

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a Wireless Personal Area network technology aimed at novel applications for smart devices. High-tech BLE profiles and services are being increasingly used by application developers and hardware enthusiasts to allow devices to interact with the surrounding world. This book will focus on a technical introduction to BLE and how it is reshaping small-distance communication. We will start with IoT, where many technologies such as BLE, Zigbee, and IEEE 802.15.4 Mesh will be introduced. The book will present BLE from an engineering perspective, from which the protocol stack, architecture, and layers are discussed. You will learn to implement customized projects for Peripheral/Central communication, BLE Beacons, indoor navigation using triangulation, and the Internet gateway for Bluetooth Low Energy Personal Network, all using various code samples and APIs on Android, iOS, and the Web. Finally, the book will conclude with a glimpse into future technologies destined to be prominent in years to come.

Summary


This is the closing chapter of this book, in which I have given you a glimpse into the future. The discussions about the future of the technology are ongoing, so it was almost impossible to cater to every possible future scenario. We briefly went through the history of technology and the future of IoT, with a special focus on the role of Bluetooth Low Energy. We also discussed technical and financial challenges, risks of Bluetooth mesh networks, and potential research scenarios for Bluetooth Low Energy security.

This is an open invitation for everyone to think how you can get the most out of this technology. Implement home projects, and take the initiative in converting your home into a smart home. Do not wait for smart cities to come to you; rather, make your home smart. There is much room for improvement in the technology, which can only be achieved by putting effort on small and big scales alike. If you think that Bluetooth does not provide some feature out of the box, develop...
