Demo: The Trade-offs of Connected VS Broadcast BLE Mesh Networking
Brecht Reynders, Yuri Murillo, Alessandro Chiumento, Sofie Pollin · Lirias · 2017
There is a lot of interest within the IoT community regarding the use of BLE mesh networks for reliable, energy efficient communication between resource constrained nodes. Even though the vast majority of industrial and consumer implementations tend to make use of broadcast BLE mesh, there is little to no analysis of the trade-offs between connected and broadcast mesh. In this demo we will show what are the strong and weak points of either of these two BLE meshing techniques and provide visual cues of the differences.
