Overview
Bluetooth Mesh Software Features and Benefits
Profile 1.0.1
| Features | Benefits | |
|---|---|---|
| Relay | Relay messages to extend the range and scale of the network | |
| Friend | Message cache to support low power nodes | |
| Proxy | Message proxy between BT mesh and BT GATT for phone connectivity | |
| Low Power Node (LPN) | Enables sleeping and message polling on battery-powered end devices | |
| PB-ADV | Use mesh device to provision other nodes over advertising | |
| PB-GATT | Use a BLE device (i.e. phone) to provision other nodes over a connection | |
| Proxy Service | Enable communication with nodes outside of mesh network | |
| Provisioning Service | Add a new node to mesh network | |
| OOB Authentication | Securely add a device to the network with user verified random numbers | |
| Replay Protection | Prevents man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks | |
| Key Refresh | Change security keys during the lifetime of a device | |
| ECDH, AES128, authentication/obfuscation | Authenticate messages and prevent data tracking |
Models
