Title: Scaling Bluetooth LE Sustainably: Energy Harvesting, Ambient IoT & Battery-Free Futures
Speaker: Adrien Cornille from EM Microelectronic

Language: English
As Bluetooth® Low Energy expands toward billions of connected devices, reducing battery dependence is becoming a central design challenge.
In this Think WIOT livestream lecture, Adrien Cornille, Global Product Marketing Manager at EM Microelectronic, explores how energy harvesting, Ambient IoT, miniaturization, and open Bluetooth standards can support more sustainable and scalable connected systems.
The session looks at the development of ultra-low-power Bluetooth LE devices and the role of increasingly compact system-on-chip designs. Smaller form factors can enable new applications where conventional batteries are difficult to integrate, including smart labels, product packaging, implantable medical devices, in-product sensors, and wearable health patches.
A key focus is the growing role of Bluetooth LE in retail. Electronic shelf labels and Bluetooth-enabled retail infrastructure can benefit from standardized, bidirectional communication, ultra-low-power operation, encrypted advertising data, and large-scale network management. The lecture also addresses Bluetooth PAwR technology and its potential to support large numbers of connected electronic shelf labels through a single access point.
Beyond retail, Adrien Cornille discusses applications in asset tracking, medical devices, smart homes, computer peripherals, indoor navigation, secure digital keys, and location-aware systems. Topics such as channel sounding, relay-attack protection, privacy, and spatial awareness show how Bluetooth LE is developing beyond simple wireless connectivity.
The presentation highlights an important direction for the wider IoT ecosystem: combining lower-power hardware, energy harvesting, interoperable standards, and ecosystem collaboration to enable more sustainable, battery-free, or battery-reduced connected devices.
Combining ultra-low-power hardware, energy harvesting, and interoperable standards is essential for creating sustainable, scalable Bluetooth LE connected devices.
