The Smart Mesh Working Group is chartered with building the architecture for standardized mesh networking capability for Bluetooth Smart technology (aka Bluetooth low energy / Bluetooth LE / BLE).

The effort is intended to enable Bluetooth Smart devices such as locks, lights, appliances and other IoT devices connect and work together.
