And a novel software architecture makes it much easier to develop winning applications By Thomas Embla Bonnerud TEXT The 2.4GHz ultra low power (ULP) wireless sector has transformed in the last three-to-five years. From being a niche technology back then, proprietary products, ANT chips and Bluetooth low energy devices have pushed wireless connectivity (powered by coin cell batteries) into the mainstream. And now things are about to explode. The challenge facing the silicon vendors is predicting just how that explosion will play out. It seems very likely that proprietary technology will continue to be successful because such products can be optimized for applications such as wireless desktops where minimal latency and low power consumption are very important. But technologies such as ANT+ from ANT Wireless and Bluetooth low energy are rapidly expanding because they are able to seamlessly communicate with devices such as smartphones, PCs and ‘health hubs’ from many manufacturers. That interoperability supports huge new wireless ecosystems. ANT+ and Bluetooth low energy are rapidly expanding because they are able to seamlessly communicate with devices such as smartphones. (Courtesy: Bluetooth SIG) ! It’s impossible to forecast which technology will do best. It’s possible that there will be plenty of space for each or perhaps one will move into a dominant position.
