How Bluetooth Mesh Networks Strengthen and Build Communities
August 20, 2019 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm PDT
This Techtonic Tuesday, find out about mesh networks, horizontal connectivity, and smart location awareness—technology that is bringing people and communities together.
So much of technology today is about negating the need for people to go out into the world. They can have stuff delivered. They can look at an art exhibit online. They can look at a virtual tour on a website.
It’s time we had tech that encouraged people to have some real world experiences! That’s where bluetooth mesh networks come in.
Bluetooth mesh networks like Loud-Hailer’s BUKI network connects people interactively so that they will go out into the world! These new networks encourage people to see that art exhibit in person, visit a park, and perhaps discover other places and things nearby that they otherwise would not have ever known if they had stayed at home.
