The vast network of Bluetooth devices includes billions of phones, tablets, PCs and TVs in use today worldwide. These devices can not only talk to each other, but also communicate with Bluetooth enabled appliances, heating and cooling systems, and other devices in the smart home. Companies that commercialize this emerging market by selling smart home devices with Bluetooth technology will be able to take advantage of the Bluetooth network effect, ensuring their products can work with the phones, tablets, PCs and TVs homeowners already own.
