Can I use Casambi in a sensitive environment?

Casambi technology is deployed in highly sensitive environments, such as in hospitals, factories and airports, where reliability and security of communication are critical. Such cases bear testimony to the hardiness of the technology and supporting services. The system is robust in design and has been certified as cyber-secure in accordance with global standards. 

Bluetooth Low Energy is a popular communication technology for portable medical devices. In fact, the uptake of BLE-enabled medical equipment is expected to double by 2026 (Source: 2022 Bluetooth®Market Update, Bluetooth Alliance). Anxiety over potential interference with portable medical monitors or other sensitive equipment is one of the biggest barriers to the uptake of BLE lighting controls in healthcare facilities. This is a concern that Casambi is keen to dispel. The BLE bandwidth (2.402 GHz to 2.480 GHz) is spread into 40 channels of 2MHz, 37 channels for data communication and 3 channels for advertising. 

Casambi networks do not use the standard BLE radio channels (i.e. Standard BLE Channel 0: 2.404 GHz, Channel 1: 2.406 GHz, ..., Channel 39: 2.480 GHz), which means it is much less likely that a BLE standard medical device will operate on the same radio channel as a Casambi network and cause interference. In case there is another BLE device within close proximity that is using the adjacent or a similar channel, the radio channels used in the Casambi network can be manually configured from the app to avoid interference. Casambi has been installed and used in a number of hospitals and is proven to work nicely alongside sensitive equipment such as MRI, CT Scanners, X-Ray, or Ultrasound.
