1. Take Full Control Of Internet Connectivity
Bluetooth® Core Specification 4.2 makes the Internet of Things (IoT) better with multiple ways to connect to the Internet

  a. Low-power IP connectivity

The latest version of internet protocol (IPv6/6LoWPAN) for Bluetooth Smart devices.*
*Expected availability December 2014

b. Bluetooth Smart technology gateways

Internet connectivity with the flexible Bluetooth Smart Generic Attribute Profiles (GATT) architecture.*
*Available early 2015

2. Smarter & Worry Free
It’s the best of all worlds – improved privacy protection with lower power consumption.

a. Industry-leading privacy.
Keeps Bluetooth Smart devices from being tracked.

b. Highly secure.
Features industry-standard encryption ensuring confidential data stays that way.

c. More power efficient.
Introduces refinements that make Bluetooth Smart even more power-stingy.

3. Faster & More Reliable

Sync data quickly and reliably. In 4.2, Bluetooth Smart is up to 2.5x faster with a huge packet capacity increase – nearly 10x more versus previous versions.

Power Analyzer over a 50 sec period: (Measured by Nordic)

In Advertising (interval 1000ms), the SoC can be worked avg. 26uA with the LED blink (flash code running).

384 Days working with a CR2032 battery (240mA/H)

Tickless Technology Applied : Power Consumption average--> 26.25uA

Tickless Technology Not Applied: Power Concumption average -->300uA
