Wibree, now known as Ultra Low Power Bluetooth saw its first working demo today. CSR, the chip manufacturer successfully demonstrated data transfer between 2 dual mode bluetooth chips. The venue was a medical conference in Luxembourg.
The chips will be commercially available from this year itself. I hope to see a lot of cell phones are wrist watches with wibree technology in the market. This would pave way to a whole new set of products are services.
Wibree is 50 times faster than Bluetooth and because of that reason itself, the power consumption drops. Also the protocol has been stripped down of unnecessary overheads and tailor made to transfer short bursts of data. A single cell battery is expected to give a wibree product a running time of 10 years.
