In this demonstration, we present a prototype of a cross technology communication (CTC) system that allows a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device to directly send data to a Wi-Fi device using commodity hardware. Towards thisgoal, we use energy burst patterns to encode information on overlapping channel frequencies. With this demonstration, we prove the feasibility of our holistic CTC approach for popular wireless technologies in the 2.4 GHz ISM band based on off-the-shelf hardware and open-source software.
