Preface
1. BLE and the Internet of Things 2. BLE Hardware, Software, and Debugging Tools 3. Building a BLE Central and Peripheral Communication System 4. Bluetooth Low Energy Beacons 5. BLE Indoor Navigation Using Estimote Beacons 6. Bluetooth Mesh Technology 7. Implementing a Bluetooth Gateway Using the Raspberry Pi 3 8. The Future of Bluetooth Low Energy

Summary

This chapter dealt with the concept of mesh networks and how Bluetooth mesh networks are beneficial over conventional Bluetooth Low Energy. ZigBee was discussed as a competitor of Bluetooth Low Energy in mesh technology. We then had a brief introduction to security complications in Bluetooth mesh networks. The goal of this chapter was to provide you with a practical approach, so you can implement your own project. Therefore, the CSRMesh API was discussed in detail, where we saw a step-by-step approach to implementing Android control for a CSRMesh network.

In the next chapter, we will learn another practical implementation of BLE, an Internet-Bluetooth gateway using the Raspberry Pi 3.
