If bluetooth is a perfect standard allowing just the right range and just the right battery life then perhaps WiBree is a better as it has the same range of ten meters but also has better battery power consumption at lower throughput rates.<\/p>\n<p>Now if anyone is using bluetooth for high bandwidth applications they are likely disappointed as 3 Mbps is just not going to cut it. But it is fast enough for things like headset connections, etc. It turns out WiBree&#8217;s 1 Mbps is probably good enough for many and with better battery life this standard will allow many other devices &#8212; that didn&rsquo;t make sense to bluetooth enable &#8212; to be connected with one another.<\/p>\n<p>So while many people are hinting that WiBree may be the bluetooth killer I have to wonder if this isn&#8217;t a bit premature. Technology has a funny way of twisting and turning in ways you don&#8217;t always foresee. For example I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if bluetooth vendors aren&#8217;t currently looking for ways to handicap this ubiquitous wireless standard so it competes more effectively with WiBree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was just spending some time learning about WiBree and how it differs from bluetooth.
