What is PD CEN/TR 17311 – BLE use cases about?
Bluetooth low energy (BLE) is a wireless personal area network technology aimed at novel applications in the healthcare, fitness, security, and home entertainment industries. Compared to classic Bluetooth, BLE is intended to provide considerably reduced power consumption and cost while maintaining a similar communication range.
The purpose of PD CEN/TR 17311 is to review what was done to envision the limits of the proposed technique and related schemes, and to define what could be submitted to standards.
Concepts that are to be used for BLE in IFM are based on a highly spread technology which is BLE. This is not limited to any trademark or proprietary scheme. Therefore any person having a smartphone can use this technology with the prerequisite to have a bluetooth version greater than 4.0 and a dedicated application onboard the smartphone.
The background of PD CEN/TR 17311 is related to usage in account based ticketing frame.
Who is PD CEN/TR 17311 - BLE use cases for?
PD CEN/TR 17311 on BLE use cases is useful for:
- Public transport operators
- The information and communication technology industries
- The sectors that use BLE technology i.e., sports, agriculture, communications, location tracking, medicines
- Product design engineers
Why should you use PD CEN/TR 17311 - BLE use cases?
Public transport can be made faster, more efficient and more passenger-friendly by enhancing the use of innovative transport telematics systems for traffic management and traveller support. PD CEN/TR 17311 provides you with bluetooth low energy architecture that is used for ticketing, and can be adapted to multiple products or systems.
Conforming to PD CEN/TR 17311, the BLE identifies a number of markets for low energy technology, particularly in the smart home, health, sport and fitness sectors. Cited advantages include low power requirements, operating for “months or years” on a small size button cell and low-cost compatibility with a large installed base of mobile phones, tablets and computers. The use cases presented in PD CEN/TR 17311 have the potential to drastically reduce power consumption for devices, resulting in overall savings for all stakeholders.
