Creating a personal area network with BLE

BLE stands for Bluetooth Low Energy, which is a wireless communication technology designed for low-power, short-range data exchange between devices. It is a subset of the classic Bluetooth technology, optimized for battery-powered devices and applications that require intermittent data transmission. BLE enables devices such as smartphones, smartwatches, and IoT sensors to establish connections and exchange data efficiently, making it ideal for applications such as fitness tracking, home automation, and proximity-based interactions. Its low energy consumption allows devices to operate for extended periods on small batteries, making BLE a popular choice for various wireless applications.

To get started with BLE, let’s see how the BLE protocol works on a fundamental basis.
