Bluetooth low energy is a wireless personal area network technology designed and marketed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group aimed at applications like healthcare, fitness, beacons, security, and home entertainment industries.Compared to Classic Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy is intended to provide considerably reduced power consumption and cost while maintaining a similar communication range. Bluetooth Low Energy is a new Bluetooth protocol that is built on the standard Bluetooth protocol but uses incredibly small amounts of electrical energy; so little in fact that a device will be able to operate for a full year using only one tiny button cell. Bluetooth Low Energy is the next evolution of Bluetooth and it is designed to transfer data between two devices extremely efficiently and using only a minimal amount of electrical energy. Bluetooth Low Energy features provides Ultra-low peak, average and idle mode power consumption , Ability to run for years on standard coin-cell batteries , Lower implementation costs, Multi-vendor interoperability, Enhanced range.
