Wibree, just like Bluetooth, is a new wireless networking technology and it is designed in a manner very similar to Wi-Fi technology, although it is not the same as Wi-Fi because it doesn't have the same bandwidth and range that Wi-Fi uses. However, Wibree and Bluetooth differ in some ways. While Bluetooth is used for devices to send and share data, wibree, on the other hand, is also used to send and share data but it does not have a higher speed of connection compared to Bluetooth.
It is used for smaller devices, unlike Bluetooth which is used in both smaller and bigger devices. Wibree is designed in such a way that it does not consume too much power and that's why it is power efficient, whereas Bluetooth consumes power when compared to wibree. It is important to also talk about the fastness of the two wireless technologies. Bluetooth is relatively faster than wibree.
