World's First Bluetooth Mesh LED Using Cypress BLE Technology
Recently, Cypress's Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology successfully helped LEDVANCE, a leader in the lighting industry and a well-known North American manufacturer of SYLVANIA brand general lighting products, launch the world's first Bluetooth® Mesh LED lighting product - SYLVANIA SMART + Bluetooth full-color LED A19 bulb, indoor full-color LED flexible light strip, soft white LED A19 filament and spherical bulb.
Bluetooth technology is a simple, secure, global wireless connection standard. Current Bluetooth technology already supports mesh networking, enabling many-to-many (m:m) device communication and is optimized for the creation of large-scale device networks. Although Bluetooth lighting products are very simple to set up, users generally need to be near the device to control them unless there is another device acting as a hub.
New Bluetooth mesh networking technology enables users to control devices, such as the new SYLVANIA SMART+ Bluetooth lighting products, from another room, because Bluetooth mesh devices can communicate with each other and pass command signals within a range of 300 meters. Since Bluetooth is one of the most commonly used technology standards for mobile devices and voice assistants, this technological advancement makes home automation products more attractive to consumers. SYLVANIA SMART+ Bluetooth mesh lighting products will be available in early 2018.
SYLVANIA SMART+ Bluetooth lighting products use Cypress's low-power Bluetooth (BLE) technology. With products that are fully certified in North America, LEDVANCE and Cypress jointly use advanced Bluetooth mesh network technology to provide end consumers with a first-class home lighting and communication experience .
“LEDVANCE SYLVANIA SMART+ Bluetooth lighting products, powered by Cypress’ certified, interoperable Bluetooth mesh networking technology, represent an important step forward in smart home lighting: easy connectivity via smartphone apps and the ability to connect to other Bluetooth devices throughout the home. Their convenience, energy efficiency and whole-home connectivity make them a smart home product of choice for consumers.”
——Brian Bedrosian
Vice President of Cypress IoT Business Unit
"Industry analysts predict that Bluetooth device shipments will reach nearly 4 billion this year alone. As a reliable wireless connection standard, Bluetooth technology has been used in countless products produced by more than 33,000 Bluetooth SIG members, thus establishing a huge network that provides consumers with a convenient user experience, thereby improving the satisfaction and ease of use of smart products.
Unlike other proprietary lighting solutions that can only mesh with their own products, our SYLVANIA SMART+ lighting products are the industry’s first Bluetooth mesh products. This means they can participate in a larger, more robust Bluetooth mesh network that includes other compatible products such as thermostats, locks and voice assistants. We are excited to work with partners in this ecosystem to directly control the next generation of lighting products using Bluetooth mesh networks. Helping everyone create an easy-to-use ecosystem through Bluetooth mesh networks will bring a more realistic smart home environment to our consumers.”
