Bluetooth
Bluetooth is one of the most common wireless technologies in the market, propelled into the consumer world by the smartphone, as well as increased demand for fitness, health, and entertainment devices.
And Bluetooth Industrial applications are growing fast.
The newest Bluetooth version is 5.3, which mainly offers improved connectivity and pairing. Some of its key features are voice and audio streaming, mesh networking, proximity and location services, and extremely low power consumption.
The stack support is most often driven via the Chip Vendor and whilst it is common for the stack to be implemented in the chip or module, some are still supporting HCI interfacing capabilities, which can provide increased flexibility.
