Not to be a vampire and suck the blood out of someone else’s discussion, but heck, it is Halloween this coming weekend. An overheard conversation is valuable if it articulates a subject better than a single writer can articulate it. A relative newcomer to the LinkedIn executive forum on smart grid posed a question a Continue reading →
This document explains the technical and organizational features of Bluetooth wireless technology and the Bluetooth Special Interest Group with specific reference to its application in Smart Metering and Home Area Networks. via Bluetooth Technology Overview For Smart Meters and Home Area Networks.
From GridWeek, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) today announced an enhanced focus on the needs of manufacturers of consumer devices in the Smart Grid environment. This effort, called Bluetooth Smart Energy, addresses the needs for wireless connections of sensors and actuators in the residence. The organization has released two key strategy documents. The first describes the Continue reading →
The Bluetooth 4.0 low-power wireless networking specification has been approved, and the technology will start appearing in devices such as smart meters and laptops later this year, the Bluetooth Special Interest Group said on Wednesday. Chips with the Bluetooth 4.0 standard have gone through a rigorous testing process, and the technology is being certified and Continue reading →
The ZigBee standards lead to electronic systems that are inherently self organizing (self calibrating) and self healing and such devices use much less power and can be deployed in larger numbers than the original WiFi and Bluetooth options. However, we now have low power WiFi and Bluetooth and many proprietary protocols for wireless sensor networks Continue reading →
In the home networking standards game, the HomePlug Powerline Alliance is sometimes overshadowed by Home Phoneline Networking Alliance and the Multimedia over Coax Alliance, but a closer relationship with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is raising its profile. This week, the IEEE P1901 Working Group passed an initial sponsor ballot that moves the Continue reading →
It will be able to turn on your washing machine remotely, to switch off your tumble dryer and to manage how and when you use your energy supply — and National Grid believes that ultimately it will change the way in which Britain uses its electricity and gas. OnStream, a National Grid business that supplies Continue reading →
The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) announced the formation of the Smart Energy Study Group. The team, made up of three sponsoring member companies including CSR, Broadcom and Emerson, will work together to address Smart Energy initiatives sponsored by governmental entities and other organizations interested in energy management throughout the world. via Bluetooth SIG Forms Continue reading →
A few years from now and the world might experience a change in the ways energy is being used and controlled. Thanks to the Bluetooth Special Interest Group’s (SIG) latest initiatives wireless technology is all set to expand its reach into the arena of smart electric grids to pave the way for clean energy. via Continue reading →
The Bluetooth Special Interest Group has formed a Smart Energy Study Group to explore application in smart electric grids. CSR, Broadcom and Emerson Electric are the initial members of the group. The study group will explore possible applications of Bluetooth in all aspects of the smart energy market. It will form a strategy for Bluetooth Continue reading →
The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has quietly issued a new set of standards that will allow low-powered devices, such as watches or sensors, to use Bluetooth …Besides its potential uses in the personal healthcare, sports and fitness, security, smart energy and home entertainment sectors, CSR believes it will also play a role in indoor Continue reading →
