As I recall it's not a particular good mesh networking standard either. I think all the nodes just blindly rebroadcast all packets.

I can't remember the exact details but I remember being disappointed when it was announced and I looked into it.

It’s a little bit better than that, in that only some nodes rebroadcast everything while you can have lower-power nodes be primarily in transmit mode. But yes, I think the spec could use a lot of improvement.

It does seem like there’s a lot of momentum in the BT-SIG to grow the standard over a long period of time, and there also are a lot of active contributors, so I do expect it to mature in the future.
