Herald and Bluetooth MESH Introduction

Bluetooth MESH is a secure multi-node network standard from the Bluetooth SIG. MESH builds on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to provide a way to network multiple Bluetooth capable devices to each other.

The main use foreseen by the Bluetooth SIG is for Smart Buildings. In this use case multiple lighting controls are managed as groups from one or more controls.

In Herald we’re interested in the technology of Bluetooth MESH to facilitate Smart Hospital and public health use cases. The Bluetooth SIG foresaw these uses and allow ‘Vendor specific models’.
