Bluetooth LE is impressive when it comes to dealing with RF congestion and making sure packets don't interfere with each other! Here's a snapshot of an RF capture I did at a training client's office this week. They have almost 2,000 sensors advertising continuously! 😵 Here are the stats: ✅ Captured using the RFcreations mini-moreph (https://lnkd.in/gmXfnrFE) ✅ 1,985 devices discovered (majority are LE, remaining are BR/EDR) ✅ 804,116 packets captured ✅ All those packets were captured in under 10 minutes 🤯 ✅ Majority of devices are operating in advertising mode (on channels 37, 38, and 39) ✅ 78% of packets captured with no issues or corruption Shockingly, Bluetooth is still able to operate in such a crazy congested RF environment! 💪 Of course, this is not a typical environment in the field and the real world, but it gives you an idea of how this amazing technology can still handle such extreme situations! 🚀 #BluetoothLE #Bluetooth #BLE #RF #Wireless #Noisy #Sniffer #IoT #beacons

Ranging over Bluetooth LE with Channel Sounding is a standard, interoperable, and secure way to measure distance accurately. This technique can improve or enable various applications, such as smart locks, secure car access, asset tracking, and more. Silicon Labs’ solution supports this technique across a broad array of use cases, offering location-aware products that are secure and user-friendly. We're giving away Novel Bits vouchers for this one! RSVP here: https://lnkd.in/gPXUKe6i
