When it comes to #IoT protocols there are two main options: #BLE vs #openthread.
While openthread is mainly focused in industrial applications, BLE has massive commercial appeal. Because of this BLE is a rapidly progressing tech comparatively, and superior in terms of speed and reliability.
While BLE goes to 2 Mbit/s, openthread delivers 250kbps. Considering IoT applications are #lowpower nodes, this high throughput helps quick transmissions and save power.
On the other hand, openthread boasts native #ipv6 access, only requiring a "border router".
And as it needs a openthread border router device anyway - IMO we might as well write and put a relay app in it, taking away openthread's advantage...
