Bluetooth Low Energy data packets can now be sent by millimeter-size IoT motes. By Samuel K. Moore @ spectrum.ieee.org Engineers at the University of Michigan have now built the first millimeter-scale stand-alone device that speaks BLE. Consuming just 0.6 milliwatts during transmission, it would broadcast for 11 years using a typical 5.8-millimeter coin battery. Such […]
