Thinking in Bluetooth
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.
Making the call to use Bluetooth isn’t just about the technology—it’s about learning to think in Bluetooth.
What does that mean?
It means understanding how Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) impacts your teams across disciplines:
- How firmware engineers design device communication.
- How app developers structure their user interfaces for connections and data exchange.
- How QA builds test plans for connectivity and edge cases.
- How product managers communicate these features (and limitations) to stakeholders.
- How customer support can guide users through setup and/or troubleshooting
By understanding how BLE touches each team, you can better anticipate challenges, create a product that works reliably across the board, and ensure there are no surprises with how things should work.
