The rise of true wireless earbuds (like AirPods and Galaxy Buds) owes its success to Bluetooth. High-quality audio codecs like aptX and LDAC enhance music streaming, while LE Audio promises even better efficiency and multi-streaming capabilities.
Bluetooth-enabled smart locks, thermostats, and lighting systems allow users to control their homes via smartphones. Beacons in retail stores use Bluetooth to send personalized promotions to shoppers.
Fitness trackers (Fitbit, Apple Watch) rely on BLE to monitor heart rate, sleep, and activity while conserving battery life. Medical devices, such as glucose monitors, use Bluetooth to transmit real-time health data to smartphones.
Factories use Bluetooth for asset tracking and equipment monitoring, while modern cars integrate Bluetooth for hands-free calls, wireless CarPlay, and keyless entry systems.
Minew provides an app and app development document for viewing product broadcast data and configuring products.
If the installation height is less than 2 meters, the orientation of the three directions doesn’t matter much. If the installation height exceeds three meters, the antenna should be placed in the downward position to have stronger signals.
The beacon’s signal broadcast waveform is heart-shaped, meaning the strength is optimal on both sides of the antenna. Therefore, place the antenna first and position the sides in the aisle for the best signal. Note: If there are multiple beacons in a showroom, you can: 1. Adjust the broadcast strength and shorten the distance. 2. Filter the signal strength using RSSI.
Based on previous hardware testing, the S4 body can detect the magnet at a maximum trigger distance of approximately 25 mm. In practical tests, it reliably detected closure within a shell spacing of about 1-2 cm. Using a larger and stronger magnet theoretically extends the maximum trigger distance further.
