KIRKLAND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has announced that industry leaders from Mobike, CCSA, Tencent, Xiaomi, ARM and more will present keynotes at Bluetooth Asia 2017. Drawing from their extensive knowledge and industry experience, these speakers will discuss a range of topics, from commercial and industrial to smart home solutions, with special emphasis on the successful and highly-anticipated launches of both Bluetooth mesh networking and Bluetooth 5. Industry leaders, top tier speakers, key adopters, developers and suppliers will join Bluetooth for this international wireless event on September 26-27, 2017 at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center in Shenzhen, China.
“When Bluetooth first started, we never would have guessed that tiny beacons with near-infinite battery life would be used as an interactive guide – but that’s exactly what Gatwick airport, and a number of other transportation, retail, and even museum environments have done. The IoT is driving Bluetooth technology into uncharted areas, and the possibilities are endless,” said Mark Powell, Executive Director at the Bluetooth SIG. “Bluetooth Asia 2017 brings together an international audience to explore these possibilities and the cultural impacts of cutting edge solutions, and looks ahead to the future of the IoT and the role Bluetooth can play in this growing space.”
In addition to speaking sessions from IoT thought leaders, Bluetooth Asia 2017 will feature practical, hands-on exhibitions presenting Bluetooth enabled technology, and developer workshops hosted by Texas Instruments, Dialog Semiconductor, Nordic, Toshiba and more. The interactive elements of this year’s event aim to give attendees an up close and personal experience with the latest technologies, as well as insights into how to take your Bluetooth product from idea to market, and what is required to develop and qualify the next generation of groundbreaking Bluetooth products and IoT solutions.
The exhibitions at Bluetooth Asia 2017 will showcase advanced Bluetooth enabled IoT innovations within product feature zones that encompass a broad range of industries including health and fitness, wearables, smart home, and audio:
Smart Home Zone
