Bluetooth® LE is a critical protocol for IoT, given its upgraded
communication capabilities and minimal power consumption
requirements. Bluetooth® 5 further enhances benefits and supports
additional breakthrough features such as extended ranges, higher
data throughputs and improved co-existence, all key elements in an
increasingly dense network.
“Our collaboration with Nordic to deploy premium Bluetooth®
systems for diverse markets represents Skyworks’ commitment to
enable the future of connectivity,” said John O’Neill, Skyworks’
vice president of marketing. “The intersection of our solutions is
driving wireless adoption and elevating performance to higher
levels for revolutionary new applications across home automation,
automotive, industrial, medical, wearables, mobile and more.”
According to a recent report from ABI Research, Bluetooth® LE
devices are forecasted to reach over 1.6 billion annual shipments
by 2023, representing a 27 percent compound annual growth rate
between 2018 and 2023 ─ or tripling in size.
