Mesh

Devices that are equipped with the mesh technology reinforce a radio signal like a repeater. For example, the WLAN signal can be reinforced with the help of repeaters and the range can be increased. This works similarly with mesh-enabled lights, such as those used in the Smart Light systems Connect and Casambi. Every component that is integrated into the Smart Light system acts as a signal amplifier, so that larger areas and distances can also be bridged. With the mesh function, the lamps and shine with each other network.

The Bluetooth mesh network is the basis for a smart light system in order to be able to control the light via a wireless network. The advantage of this wireless control, which is possible by the mesh technology, is particularly evident in retrofitting lighting concepts, because subsequently laying cables is not only very complex, but also costly.

In addition, Bluetooth mesh also makes it possible to use devices from various manufacturers and has thus prevailed as a global standard. Smartphones and tablets can communicate directly with this Bluetooth mesh network without gateway, which makes it particularly easy and convenient to use a smart light system based on it. Another advantage of this system lies in the so -called self -healing, which means that a communication path is automatically changed if one of the forwarding devices fails in the network, which means that mesh always remains reliable.
