In this Episode – The Untapped Potential of Bluetooth for Enterprise IoT Deployments
Over the past two decades, Bluetooth technology has emerged as the pre-eminent short-range radio technology standard for consumer devices. It was only a natural progression, then, that Bluetooth would find its way into industrial and enterprise applications and broader IoT deployments.
On this week’s episode of What to Expect When You’re Connecting, we speak with Felix Xiao, the founder and CEO of Cassia Networks, to discuss how Bluetooth has evolved into an integral part of modern connected settings. Xiao touches on everything from the history of Bluetooth as a technology to how Cassia’s gateways and routers have helped to address some of the challenges the technology faces in modern enterprise environments.
The conversation explores technical innovations like increased range, cost-efficiency, and security, all while touching on how cellular connectivity helps to simplify deployments and reduce costs.
This episode is ideal for listeners who are curious about Bluetooth solutions, and how they may fit into modern enterprise IoT deployments, as the discussion includes practical applications and future advancement in the technology.
