FAQ
Which is better for low-power IoT devices: Bluetooth or WiFi?

Choose Bluetooth Internet of Things over WiFi for devices that operate on low power since Bluetooth consumes less energy than WiFi.

Can Bluetooth and WiFi be used together in an IoT project?

Yes! You can use the Internet of Things Bluetooth and WiFi simultaneously for more connectivity options and features.

How does Bluetooth or WiFi affect the security of IoT devices?

Both technologies can be vulnerable to security threats if not configured properly. Yet, using encryption, strong passwords, and access controls, as well as avoiding open WiFi networks, can help you tackle most risks.

Can your team help integrate Bluetooth or WiFi into an existing IoT project?

Of course! WebbyLab has experience integrating both Bluetooth and WiFi, so we can surely do this for your project.

How quickly can you develop and deploy an IoT solution using Bluetooth or WiFi?

The time to build and deploy a Bluetooth/WiFI IoT solution depends on various factors. Some may include your project’s complexity and specific hardware, firmware, and software requirements. If you’d like to get a better idea of the timeline for your specific needs, contact our team for a consultation.

How to choose the best IoT router?

When learning how to choose IoT router, go for one with strong security, dual or tri-band WiFi, and mesh support for better coverage. The best router for IoT devices should also smoothly handle multiple connections.
