Should you use a third-party library for Bluetooth integration, or write it yourself? When deciding, don’t overlook this one thing:

Bluetooth integration isn’t just about connecting devices—it’s about building a solid foundation. For embedded teams, understanding the hardware constraints, firmware capabilities, and collaboration points with app teams is the focus.

Don't forget chip manufacturers sometimes have bugs in their BLE firmware - and it can really make you bang your head against the wall.

For product managers, understanding the nuances of Bluetooth can help ensure the product meets user expectations and aligns with business goals. Here are some questions the PM team should be asking:

While this might not technically be a “Bluetooth hack,” it caught my eye as it exposes a vulnerability in the overall system design, where the security chain depends on hardware robustness.

For product managers, understanding the nuances of Bluetooth can help ensure the product meets user expectations and aligns with business goals. Here are some questions the PM team should be asking:

When QA teams are "Thinking in Bluetooth", the connected experience is front and center. Here are some key questions QA teams should ask during testing:

When a team decides to integrate Bluetooth into their product, it’s not just an engineering decision—it’s a ripple effect that touches multiple teams, from firmware developers to product managers, and even marketing.

In the context of developing a Bluetooth product, when is using AI a good idea?

You’ve defined your use cases and designed your GATT profile. Now it’s time to validate the BLE integration in real-world scenarios and refine your design.
