Google has announced the introduction of LoWPAN (Low-power Wireless Personal Area Network) API support for Android Things devices, a facility that will allow developers to configure and manage low power networks for connected devices.
Thanks to LoWPAN, devices on the Android Things platform can communicate directly with each other over a 'Thread' network- a highly secure, low-power networking technology that utilizes a mesh-like architecture.
Regarding the advantages of LoWPAN's implementation, Google's blog states that "These types of low-power connectivity solutions enable Android Things devices to perform edge-computing tasks, aggregating data locally from nearby devices to make critical decisions without a constant connection to cloud services."
