Who We Are
Since 2016, when the first Human Centric® wireless lighting control system was developed by our Bluemesh® innovation team, we have continuously designed to create our latest Bluemesh® lighting control system, better meeting the needs of the commercial lighting community. In 2017, our Human Centric® wireless lighting control system won the prestigious IES Progress award.
Thanks to Bluetooth® SIG’s mission and passion, the full-stack standard for wireless lighting control, Bluetooth® Networked Lighting Control (NLC) was fully adopted and launched in 2023. The Bluemesh® team has embraced the next level of opportunity and specifically designed its systems to meet the scale, reliability and security demands for commercial lighting settings, building automation projects and IoT infrastructure.
With Bluemesh® technology native in 100 percent of smartphones and tablets, installers can use commissioning apps that communicate directly with nodes on a Bluetooth® Mesh network, eliminating the need for specialized engineering expertise or internet and cloud platforms to support installation and operation of the system. In addition, a remote provisioning feature makes adding new devices or changing existing devices even easier.
Bluemesh® was specifically designed with large-scale wireless network deployments in mind. Three key features help separate Bluetooth® Mesh from other wireless networking technologies and provide the resiliency needed by installers, building managers, and end users in commercial and industrial installations.
• Control systems based on Bluetooth® Mesh do not require centralized controllers, as intelligence is distributed to all end devices. A decentralized control architecture enables systems to achieve significantly greater scale, reliability, and performance, at lower costs
• A unique publish/subscribe message addressing approach significantly lowers messaging traffic on the network, leading to greater network scale and performance
• Bluetooth® Mesh offers multiple options for message relay. Managed Flood provides reliable, multi-path messaging over multiple hops. Directed Forwarding increases scalability and can improve messaging efficiency in the most complex, large-scale mesh networks
Bluemesh® is designed with security as a top priority and provides industrial-grade security for protection against all known attacks.
• Comprehensive security that covers the entire network of devices and various groupings of devices is mandatory
• Additional features are available to further enhance security and network device privacy
• The Bluetooth® Mesh security architecture is open and available for public review on Bluetooth® official website Bluetooth.com.
