iOS and Android App for BTLE-based Data Exchange
Project description
A manufacturer of home appliances planned to bring an app to market that would allow one of its devices to be controlled via Bluetooth. To achieve this, Helbling developed the lower software layers (API) needed for the connection and data exchange via Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE). An interdisciplinary team made up of app development specialists, software developers and electronics engineers was needed to quickly create the BTLE interface and implement device-side services in close cooperation with the manufacturer. Since Helbling unites all of these skills under one roof, it was able to assemble a project team of experienced experts within a short period of time.
