BluMesh® is Mesh-Net’s new proprietary Bluetooth5 MESH networking protocol developed for Industrial IoT (IIoT) applications including Smart Buildings, Lighting, Metering, Wireless sensor networks, Renewable Energy, Data Centres, Remote Monitoring, Industrial and Home automation.
Powerful
Simple to use and deploy
Secure
BluMesh has multi layered security built in. Separate network keys and application keys with end to end data encryption using industry standard AES-128. Capability to remotely refresh keys mitigates against trash can attacks.
Scalable
Propagate data through hundreds or thousands of nodes. BluMesh allows for dense and large scale deployments in the most challenging enviroments.
Reliable
With every node in the network capable of communicating with every other node, builds in network redundancy with no single point of failure.
Bluetooth LE v4 vs Bluetooth LE v5
BluMesh works using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5.0; these are the key differences between BLE version 4 and BLE v 5:
Bluetooth Version |
Range |
Speed |
Message Length |
Data Transfer Rate |
Maximum Output Power |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
4.0 |
60m (200 feet) | 25 Mbit/s | 31 bytes | 1Mb/s | 10mW |
5.0 |
1500m (5000 feet) | 50 Mbit/s | 255 bytes | 2Mb/s | 100mW |
BluMesh vs Bluetooth Mesh v1
These are the key differences between BluMesh and Bluetooth Mesh v1.0:
Bluetooth version |
5.0 |
4.0 |
Data Payload |
199 bytes | 10 bytes |
Number of hops |
Unlimited | 127 |
Configuration |
Simple API AT Type Commands | Custom complex coding |
Mesh Network Setup |
In minutes (see video below for a demo) | Several days / weeks based on Configuration |
Maximum number of Nodes |
524,287 | 32,767 |
