Bluetooth

As Bluetooth is becoming more and more ubiquitous in smart homes, buildings, and factories, there are many myths about what the wireless technology can and cannot do. In fact, its capabilities go far beyond its use in consumer electronics and enables a wide range of professional solutions in commercial and industrial environments. Here are some of the common myths around Bluetooth – and the lesser-known facts

Like the majority of vaccines, the effectiveness of Covid-19 doses requires cold storage. This means supply chain players must take the necessary measures to ensure that storage conditions are maintained at the right temperature for the entire journey, from manufacturers to immunisation centre, says Benjamin Brown, client success manager at Sigfox

TomTom (TOM2), the location technology provider, has launched the TomTom GO Discover its quick and powerful navigation device with a new 7-inch high-definition (HD) touchscreen display.

Wireless communication systems usually employ radio as the underlying, physical basis to transport data from one device to another. Bluetooth technology is a radio communication technology, and radio technology is often seen as unreliable. With this in mind, a question arises can Bluetooth technology be described as reliable?
