Bluetooth Smart(tm) powering the Internet of Things Support for 6LoBTLE *Speaker: Joe Decuir, IEEE Fellow* *Date: *Tuesday, 3rd March 2015 *Place: *Tektronix Building 38 Atrium, 3025 SW Zworykin Avenue, Beaverton, Oregon *Costs: *Free and open to the public -registration required at https://meetings.vtools.ieee.org/m/32273 *Time: 6:00 PM (6:00 PM~7:00 PM: Social, 7:00 PM~ 8:00 PM: Talk)* *TALK DESCRIPTION:* The Internet of Things is the current industry hype. Estimates run into the billions of devices and trillions of dollars. In fact, it will generate a lot of products, and a lot of engineering jobs. Fortunes will be won and lost. It will also generate some interesting new problems. There are many ways to connect the "Internet of Things". This presentation will focus on a particular model. The radio is based on Bluetooth Low Energy (aka Bluetooth Smart(tm)). A new Bluetooth specification supports implementing Internet Protocol (IPv6) in low cost nodes. Example applications are developed by the Internet Protocol Smart Objects consortium. *BIOGRAPHY:* Joe Decuir is still having an interesting career. After two degrees at UC Berkeley, he has worked in medical electronics, video games, personal computers, communications and networking. He was just elevated to Fellow by IEEE for work on video games. He has been writing public standards for connectivity in mass market products, including modems, USB and Bluetooth. He is also active organizing the 2015 Global Humanitarian Technology Conference for October 2015. -- Keith Lofstrom [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
