BLE Fundamentals
Core concepts and principles behind Bluetooth Low Energy technology.
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)Understanding BLE Security Boundaries: What It Protects and What It Doesn’t
BLE encryption and authenticated pairing secure over-the-air communication, but they don’t protect data once it reaches your app or cloud. Learn where BLE security stops and when you need TLS, end-to-end encryption, and user authentication.

Understanding BLE Connections: How to Choose Advertising, Scanning, and Connection Parameters
Choosing the right BLE connection parameters directly impacts discovery speed, reliability, and battery life. This article explains how advertising, scanning, and connection intervals work together and how to tune them for real-world performance.
LightBlueHow to Use LightBlue Virtual Devices
When hardware isn’t available, Virtual Devices in LightBlue let you keep moving. Simulate BLE peripherals, test app behavior, and explore GATT designs without depending on physical devices.

Scanning for Peripherals on iOS Core Bluetooth
iOS BLE scanning doesn’t always work the way you expect. This article breaks down how Core Bluetooth actually discovers devices, why peripherals sometimes don’t show up, and how to build reliable scanning flows that work in the real world.
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)Building a Reliable Android BLE Operation Queue
Unreliable reads, writes, and callbacks in Android BLE usually come down to one missing piece, a proper operation queue. Learn how to build a simple, thread-safe queuing system that ensures your BLE operations execute cleanly, one at a time.
