2G/LTE-M or cellular technology is embedded on the vehicle, intelligence is therefore not carried by the smartphone.The so-called short-distance range of this technology is limited (up to 100 m) and usage data and functionalities are only available when the user is connected within this perimeter. One of the strengths of the technology is its cost, allowing a more affordable price than others for IoT products. Bluetooth/BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) is a fairly old technology (1994) that has evolved with the use of smartphones, and that is now extremely widespread and compatible with almost all mobile terminals.Bluetooth, LTE-M or LoRa?īluetooth/BLE, 2G/LTE-M and LoRa are 3 common data transmission protocols with different characteristics, prices, benefits. What’s about the technologies used to develop connectivity? We speak about CAN, that’s the networks but, it’s essential to speak about the technologies. Thanks to the CAN we have real-time information. Why CAN is particularly adapted for develop connectivity in electric bike market?ĬAN connection provides a good immunity to noise and electrical parasites and is a real data bus (vs Point to Point) so many devices can be simultaneously connected and thus report several profiles and typologies of e-bike data. CAN protocol is the one used in automotive industry and is becoming the benchmark for the electric bike market. UART is the historical one, a “point to point” link that can be quickly limiting to build complex ecosystems with several actors. There are 2 main communication protocols used on the e-bike market, UART or CAN.
