The Ultrasonic Portable incorporates BLE technology (Bluetooth Low Energy). BLE is the first open wireless communication technology, offering communication between mobile devices or computers and other smaller devices such as a Calypso wind meter.
Compared to Classic Bluetooth, BLE works using reduced power consumption and therefore lower cost while maintaining a similar communication range to standard Bluetooth. The coverage range is approximately 50 metres when in an open space.
BLE version 4.1 incorporates some important developments for the user by facilitating the reconnection between their devices once they come out and re-enter the range of action.
