The Radio Of All Times

Here is the list of Bluetooth - based equipment I carry in my backpack when roaming between the home and the office:

• 1. Windows laptop (Lenovo)
• 2. iOS iPad (Apple)
• 3. Android phone (Blackberry)
• 4. Smart watch (Garmin)
• 5. Wireless mouse (Logitech)
• 6. Apple pencil (Apple)
• 7. Mono headset (Plantronics)
• 8. Conference speaker (Jabra)
• 9. Keyfob (Tile)

When going for a business trip I usually add to the list:

• 10. Stereo headset (Bose)
• 11. Music speaker (Bose)
• 12. Muscle toner (Slendertone)

 Additionally on a daily basis I'm using:

• 13. Wireless keyboard (Logitech)
• 14. Car audio (Pioneer)
• 15. Garage door opener (Proxi)
• 16. Property gate opener (Proxi)

That is 16 Bluetooth devices per person, while Bluetooth Mesh is yet to land in all lighting fixtures in offices', restaurants', shopping malls' and airports' ceilings.

This is and will continue to be the most widely spread and adopted wireless technology. And it is not only the number of nodes. It is also the variety of applications and use cases. From audio to data synchronization to sensors, indoor navigation and infrastructure control systems.
