Bluetooth
Four Approaches for Expanding the Range of Bluetooth
Design engineers face a conundrum when it comes to Bluetooth Low Energy. BLE is chosen for a design project with full knowledge of its limited range in order to take advantage of the technology’s other strengths. But the implementation, once completed, often requires greater range than BLE can deliver. It’s a Catch-22 that many design engineers face when they work on a BLE-enabled project.
