Qt Bluetooth
The Bluetooth API provides connectivity between Bluetooth enabled devices.
Currently, the API is supported on the following platforms: Android, iOS, Linux (BlueZ 4.x/5.x) and OS X.
Overview
Bluetooth is a short-range (less than 100 meters) wireless technology. It has a reasonably high data transfer rate of 2.1 Mbit/s, which makes it ideal for transferring data between devices. Bluetooth connectivity is based on basic device management, such as scanning for devices, gathering information about them, and exchanging data between them.
Qt 5.5 contains the first full release of the new Qt Bluetooth Low Energy API. Further details can be found in the Bluetooth Low Energy Overview section.
