INTRODUCTION
Now a days the wireless technologies are more in use and are widely evolving.
Some of the technologies now in use are Wi-Fi, Wi-max, Zigbee, Bluetooth……. Out of which Bluetooth is most popular.
These technologies are widely used to connect the large devices like mobile phones or personal computers.
No other existing wireless technologies will connect with small button cell battery devices so effectively.
So the Nokia introduced the new radio technology called Wibree.
WHAT IS WIBREE?
New radio technology for ultra low power applications
Wibree is a new radio technology developed by Nokia.
It consumes only a fraction of the power compared to other such radio technologies, enabling smaller and less costly implementations and it is easy to integrate with Bluetooth solutions.
WIBREE IMPLEMENTATIONS
Wibree stand-alone chip
Wibree-Bluetooth dual-mode chip
Wibree stand-alone chip:
The Wibree stand-alone chip is designed for use with applications which require extremely low power consumption, small size, low cost and where only small quantities of data are transferred.
It's an ideal solution for small devices (like heart-rate monitors) that use only short data messages and must have long battery life.
WIBREE Vs BLUETOOTH
Wibree and Bluetooth are complementary technologies. While Bluetooth is well-suited for streaming and data-intensive applications such as file transfer.
Wibree is designed for applications where less power consumption, small size and low cost are the critical requirements.
CONCLUSION
Taking all the above factors together, it is understood that wibree has the potential to transform consumer devices.
It will solve the technology and monitoring issues that are currently hindering the adoption of wireless health care services and enable a whole new generation life style, monitoring and safety products.
Wibree will enable C2M-"consumer to Machine" or "Consumer to Middleware" applications.
