Activity trackers
Activity trackers are a phenomenon bursting onto the scene less than 10 years ago, and today almost everyone has one. They are cool, fashionable and they offer the everyday-person a simple, fun means with which to assess their activity and exercise with goals and competition an integral part of how they are used. Bluetooth Low Energy was critical to enabling the activity tracker with ultra-low power communication over Bluetooth low energy to our smartphones. Today’s SoCs need to be very capable to meet the modern activity trackers needs, with outstanding energy efficiency, rich peripheral sets and compute power topping the list.
