Wibree is the first wireless technology to widely adopted industry standard for solve the following needs in a single solution. protocols (Bluetooth SIG) Ultra low peak average and idle mode internationally adopted industry power consumption standard for transmission (IEEE Ultra low cost and small size for 802.15.1) accessories and human interface device Low price through single chip (HID) integration Minimal cost and size addition to Compatibility with yet deployed mobile phones and PCs. Bluetooth devices via updates Global, intuitive and secure multivendor interoperability. 3.6 Connections and Communication Events Bluetooth low energy is designed with two When a connection is requested, all the equally important implementation alternatives: information about this connection is contained in single-mode and dual-mode. Small devices like one packet transmitted from the initiating master tokens, watches and sports sensors based on a device to the slave. This includes the adaptive single-mode Bluetooth low energy frequency hopping channel map and the implementation will enjoy the low-power communication event interval for the subsequent consumption advantages enabled for highly connection.
