Bluetooth and motorcycles Autos Articles | February 9, 2008 The twin concepts of bluetooth and motorcycles will produce somewhat differing images for most of us. Recent changes mean that bluetooth is suddenly becoming very relevant to motorbike owners. On a Sunday morning in rural Hampshire, a number of motorcycle enthusiasts have gathered at a popular cafe. They are here for one of their regular meetings. They enjoy talking about their machines, before heading out for a ride on the relatively quiet roads. The thrill of driving on the open road and being able to enjoy this particular activity have been popular for years. Though their machines may have changed somewhat over the years, it’s clear that many of these enthusiasts have been riding for some time. This is a world where some things change, but much stays the same. A close look at a few of the motorcycle helmets present suggests that something of a transformation has occurred here too. Motorbike riders are able to communicate with friends, family and colleagues, without having to get off their bike. This revolution has been brought about by the wonders of bluetooth technology. Bluetooth is a means of allowing wireless communications. In the case of bikes, it is being used to enable owners to make and receive telephone calls while they are on the move. This application is achieved by the use of a simple headset, which is fitted to a helmet. The headset has some headphones and a microphone, allowing hands free telephone conversations. The world of motorcycles continues to change and develop. It seems that mobile phones can now be used as an integral part of the process, thanks to bluetooth developments. Bluetooth helmets and headsets are now available from a range of UK stockists. You can compare prices and buy online for some of the most competitive deals.

Over the next few years that volume of deployment will provide the critical mass that product designers need to justify incorporating wireless connectivity into a new generation of products. Low cost, Wibree only chips will find their way into a whole new range of accessories, such as watches and lifestyle devices. Dual-mode Wibree + Bluetooth chips will give added functionality to the phones themselves, which will become usable for location specific data searching and remote control. Most importantly, Wibree opens up a raft of new opportunities for mobile network operators. As each Wibree equipped handset is a mobile gateway for Wibree devices, operators will be able to offer new services, such as health monitoring. Such services provide a route to new revenue streams, as well as being a powerful tool for operators to increase customer loyalty and reduce churn.

Wibree’s advantage is that it is going to build upon the volumes of mobile phones. Unlike other low power standards it’s not starting from scratch, but will ride on an industry that already sells a billion devices every year. Wibree has the goal of enabling a multitude of products to connect to each and every one of these handsets. That adds up to a potential that is an order of magnitude greater than mobile phone sales. Wibree’s goal is not to ship mere millions, but tens of billions.

Wibree applications – small scale, big opportunity

Wibree is all about small data transfers. These are the applications that send small amounts of information occasionally. That might be a TV remote control, a glucose monitor, flight information at an airport or a room thermostat. All in all, each application may only transfer a few tens or hundreds of bytes of data each day. It’s what I’ve termed microdata. It’s not a new concept, but prior to Wibree nothing has had the architecture to make it simple or the critical mass to make it happen. Instead most wireless technologies have been bogged down in complexity by trying to be good at the difficult things, such as meshes or video streaming or concurrent audio and data. Wibree is all about doing the little things simply.

Understanding the playing field

There are advantages in arriving late, at least as far as a wireless technology is concerned. It means that it can see what its prospective environment looks like and thus be designed to cope with the increasingly noisy and congested spectrum at 2.4GHz. The Wibree specification makes sure that it can cope with interference with a simple frequency agile approach that doesn’t demand the precision clocks of Bluetooth. It uses advertising channels to ensure it’s not inadvertently jammed by Wi-Fi or other transmitters in the band – a low cost but efficient solution. To attain extended battery life, it implements a data transfer scheme that lets it rapidly wake up from deep sleep when it has something to say and then fall back asleep again. It’s a well thought through, pragmatic specification based on experience and thought. It covers its target market requirements at its inception, meaning it is unlikely that the specification will need to updated after a year, which helps provide robustness as well as keeping the cost of the technology low.

At the interoperability level, the standard defines a number of basic profiles that concentrate on efficiently sending attributes or values between devices. These allow a Wibree device to send status information, such as ON or OFF, and values such as room temperature. They also allow simple transmission of information that needs to be displayed, such as text strings. Most of the time these transfers will be infrequent; sometimes they may be the starting point for another wireless technology to take over – such as setting up higher speed Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connections. It’s all part of Wibree’s job of providing the glue to hold our wireless day together.

The long and short of it

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that low power and long battery life mean that Wibree will be limited to short range applications. Wibree can transmit at powers up to 100mW. In mobile phones, where it shares the same transmitter and receiver with the Bluetooth chip it reside in, Wibree will typically transmit at around 2mW with a receive sensitivity of better than -86dBm. If the RF circuitry is well designed, that will give it an open field range in excess of 100 metres with very low battery consumption. Sensor applications that add a power amplifier ought to be able to exceed 1 km of open field range. While many Wibree applications will extend no further than the range of personal transactions within a room, there will be numerous applications that need to cover the house or office. The ability to deliver that range will help Wibree enable a very wide range of applications.

What’s microdata all about?

The best way to understand its versatility is to look at some applications that Wibree can enable. The first of these to come to market will almost certainly be phone-centric, not least because Wibree is being championed by Nokia and other phone vendors. These headline applications include sending caller information to your watch display and collecting data from health and lifestyle sensors. They’ll start to deliver the first stage of that promise of tens of billions of devices.

An important part of the design of the Wibree standard has been in making it inexpensive to manufacture and integrate – potentially half the cost of Bluetooth for a stand-alone Wibree chip. That low cost opens up a whole raft of opportunities. It only needs a little thought to see how wide the potential from wireless microdata can be.

Microdata means Location

How many times have you gone somewhere and wanted some basic piece of information? It might be the time and gate for your flight, where the goat’s cheese is in the supermarket, or where to find your mummy at the British Museum. Some of these can be answered by search engines and a mobile data subscription. Wibree enables the concept of free local searches.

The way it works is to install Wibree “servers” at each relevant location, with a simple information database in each. That database is typically going to be small and local as it only concerns itself with information about its search location. At the train station it will be the times and platforms of trains for that station and their destinations. In the supermarket it will be the aisle in which goods are located. At the museum it will be details of where the exhibits are on display.

Each Wibree location server will broadcast its presence, and any Wibree device with a suitable search application can choose to show all of the servers within range. It’s never likely to be a big list, but it will be information relevant to where you are. Select the one you want, enter your query and back comes the result:

The process doesn’t touch the mobile network, so there’s no charge. The phone only needs to accept minimal data and display downloaded text, so it’s fast. The database in the server is small and simple to structure as it only has limited, local information. Adding GPS for location based services to a handset adds $10 to the manufacturing cost. The incremental cost of adding Wibree will be around $0.10 – one hundredth of the cost of adding GPS. So the opportunity for location based searches and services is vastly more likely using Wibree, as its negligible additional cost means it will penetrate a far wider range of handsets.

The design of the Wibree protocol stack means there’s no need for TCP/IP stacks, web browsers or anything else in the display device. It’s trivial for something as powerful as a mobile phone to run, but it also means that it’s easy to implement at very low cost. So it could be put onto your shopping trolley with nothing more complex than an 8-bit microprocessor and a display – all of which can be part of a single Wibree chip. It’s a good example of how Wibree makes interoperability and wireless functionality cheap.

Microdata means Health – The Ubiquitous Gateway

Caring for an ageing population with an increasing incidence of long-term, chronic health issues is a problem facing most countries. There is a clear perception that electronic monitoring of health is a key part of any solution. That’s been recognised within the industry with the formation of specialist groups such as the Bluetooth Medical Devices Group, the Continua Alliance and the IEEE 11073 standards group.

Wibree is widely seen as a key enabler for these services. Where it scores over any other low power radio is in its unique ability to use the mobile phone as a gateway that can pass data from a personal medical device to a service provider.

Some of the first Wibree devices being talked about are sports accessories, such as simple pedometers built into sports footwear. The technology will quickly migrate to personal health monitors, including weighing scales, blood pressure monitors and glucosimeters. These aren’t devices that need to send large amounts of data, but their usage model requires low power so that they can be small, battery powered and wearable.

The prospect of offering health related services is an exciting prospect for network operators. It’s one of the reasons that the GSM Association is welcoming Wibree as an evolution of the existing Bluetooth standard. It’s not yet clear where the services will reside – with mobile networks, insurers, national healthcare services, gyms or private medical companies. What is clear is that Wibree provides a wireless implementation with the accessibility that will enable a large-scale deployment of eHealth devices.

Microdata means Control

The concept of Home Automation has been around for over sixty years, yet still has not taken off. There are many reasons for that, including proprietary systems that won’t work with each other, cost and the fact that most of them are too complicated to set up.

With Wibree, things have the chance to change – particularly the problem of configuration. Every enabled mobile phone can be used to set up Wibree devices around the house. Like the example of local searching above, they don’t need special applications – they just display data sent from the host device and map button presses. It gives a simplicity of operation that means that Wibree can be used as a truly universal remote control. Any optional, additional complexity is handled in the device that is being controlled

As Wibree appears in these devices, the scope for remote control of other devices will appear. Gateway devices will also open up the possibility of remote access. Whether a large number of people will ever want to control their heating or white goods remotely is open to debate, but Wibree will be sneaking into the infrastructure of household goods for other reasons. Increasing concerns about energy and resource usage will require smarter washing machines and dishwashers that can talk to each other about how and when they’re working. The driver is likely to be flexible tariffs and government legislation, rather than consumer demand for the automated home. The day is coming when your utility company will decide when you can do your washing.

Ubiquitous microdata

There are places Wibree won’t go. It won’t go into light bulbs, but it’s debatable if wireless ever will. It will go into things that can talk to or be monitored via mobile networks, so will almost certainly become the choice for most consumer medical monitoring and lifestyle devices. By the same token and because of the simplicity of making basic control and display devices it will probably dominate the home automation market. Where interoperability or promiscuity aren’t required then applications will stick with proprietary wireless chips, but even these will change if the production volumes of Wibree drive it to be cheaper. It won’t go into mesh networks, but by taking the consumer applications away mesh will probably remain a niche market. Wibree certainly won’t kill other standards like ZigBee, but it will kill many of their wider ambitions.

Because of the volume it will achieve on the back of mobile phones, Wibree will become endemic. That means it is very well placed to be the wireless technology of choice to support any legislative initiative. Up until now, remote monitoring of devices has largely been ruled by the simple economics of justifying automation. The growing concerns about global warming and the need for better policing of domestic energy usage are already changing that equation. Governments with environmental targets to meet are mandating technology to provide more precise measurements of energy. Wireless Automated Meter Reading (AMR) is moving from trials to deployment after years of feasibility testing. It won’t be alone. Smart homes, smart transport, smart technology is becoming the mantra of the day, with wireless connectivity to ensure the timely arrival of data.

Hundreds of millions of deployed Wibree devices and gateways in the form of mobile phones is hard to argue against as the obvious enabler for these initiatives. The virtuous circle of specification and volume will ensure that Wibree becomes the pre-eminent wireless standard. As most of those devices will depend on the Wibree link for their operation it’s also likely to become the most used wireless standard. And that usage will drive its cost down until it becomes inconceivable not to add it to a new product.

Like the 802.11 wireless technology, Bluetooth also uses radio signals to create bandwidth but it does not require a receiver to be plugged in the USB port of the computer. The range of Bluetooth is much better than this erstwhile technology and is allowing people to go further into a world devoid of entangled wires.

Developed and designed to be a low cost, secure and easy to use technology, Bluetooth is available in two classes: class 1 and class 2. Class 1 is relatively uncommon one and can detect other Bluetooth devices in the range of 100 meters. Class 2 is the more used and common one and enables access up to a range of 10 meters only.

A Bluetooth enabled computer has a receiver installed inside and can connect simultaneously with a maximum of 7 other devices. Though most of the computers being manufactured today (and definitely all the Apple Macs) have a Bluetooth receiver installed, if your older computer needs does not have one, it can easily be made to accept and send Bluetooth messages. This can be done by using a USB to Bluetooth adaptor or installing it internally. Also if it is a notebook that needs to be Bluetooth enabled and you have a spare PCMCIA slot, you could use a Bluetooth card to get going with Bluetooth.

The ease of use, affordability and instant compatibility one can now download all the data on addresses, contacts, things to do and notes on to the computer in a jiffy. Downloading pictures
from digital cameras, saving mp3 audio files from the mp3 player and sending a print command to the printer have now become much easier without the need for long twisted and messy looking cables. It is also being used in areas other than that of computers. Hands free headsets for mobiles phones are today hands free and wire free. Car phones can use the same concept to enable speaking on the phone and driving a seamless affair. The list of devices that Bluetooth can be used with includes cordless phones, faxes, headsets and video.

As always people have discovered new applications for the latest technology. One of such uses is called Bluejacking. In Bluejacking people can send messages from their mobile phones to other mobile phones in the vicinity without accessing the mobile service providers network. The first ever message that was sent using Bluejacking was Buy Ericsson. Though it seems to have limited use it can be a fun thing to do among friends. Bluecasting is another such use which has captured the interest of advertisers. In this process, Bluetooth enabled billboards and signposts can be used to send relevant and appropriate messages to all Bluetooth devices in the area. This method of advertising is extremely relevant for location specific businesses like food service restaurants, malls and the like.

The dial-up Bluetooth ALP will address the mass consumer market that does not want to spend $45 to $55 per month on a continual basis for broadband but is willing to spend a reasonable, onetime outlay for the benefits of untethered surfing and printing from their couch without installing a WLAN home network. If advertised and marketed aggressively enough, this could help to increase consumers’ knowledge of the benefits of products that offer Bluetooth cordless functionality then translate that knowledge into revenue. If not advertised and promoted effectively, these products could be slow to take off.

A greater level of consumer awareness of what Bluetooth is and what benefits it offers is the key to unlocking the box of consumer demand. Though knowledge is increasing, the low level of familiarity of Bluetooth by the average consumer is ensuring that mobile phone operators are still not feeling the consumer demand for Bluetooth-enabled handsets. Nokia and Motorola are very common phones in the United States, but Ericsson is not. Sony Ericsson has been the most aggressive Bluetooth-enabled handset manufacturer to date, but there has not been a significant push or driver thus far in the United States.

Since operators subsidize so many phones, it is necessary for them to see some benefit to offering Bluetooth-enabled phones to their subscribers. So they need to reap a return in terms of customer loyalty (for lower churn), obtaining new subscribers, or revenue. Driver safety alone could be a significant trump card in offering subscribers additional benefits. If operators begin to bundle mobile phones and Bluetooth headsets in an aggressive manner, in conjunction with a marketing campaign targeting hands-free use in vehicles for safety, demand could increase quickly.

On the acquisition front, comments were recently flying around regarding the acquisition of Ericsson Microelectronics by Infineon Technologies. The deal is expected to close in about two months. Infineon gains the module business via Ericsson, inroads to supplying semiconductors into wireless infrastructure and a supplementary customer list. Previously, STMicroelectronics began its acquisition of the wireline and wireless groups of Alcatel Microelectronics, while American Microsystems Inc. began its acquisition of Alcatel Micro’s mixed signal group. The acquisitions of Ericsson Microelectronics and Alcatel Microelectronics do not directly affect current market shares of Bluetooth chipsets.

Recent announcements by Texas Instruments for a $4 (BOM) Bluetooth solution via a ROM-based single chip and by Infineon Technologies for sub-$3.75 pricing (both high volumes) have set a new bar. Both use leading 0.13-micron RE CMOS processes, and volume production is planned for Q12003. Philips Semiconductors announced an affiance with Ericsson Technology Licensing for audio/video solutions. For space-constrained applications, Motorola will go into production in Q4 with a stacked chipset die solution in a 7mm-by-7mm-by-1.6mm BGA package. The price will be the same for the company’s separate radio and baseband.

Coexistence solutions were demonstrated by Silicon Wave (Blue802) and Zeevo (alternate wireless media access, or AWMA). Neither is based on the not-yet-finalized adaptive frequency hopping (AFH) scheme. These mechanisms are geared especially toward the PC market since the front-end can get overloaded in co-located situations (such as a laptop), which can still present a problem with AFH. The first coexistence solutions to hit the shelves are expected in the next six to nine months.

In-Stat/MDR estimates Bluetooth chipset shipments will climb from 10.4 million units in 2001 to 48 million this year, growing to 150 million in 2003.
