Wibree is  a radio technology much like the Bluetooth which is only shorter in range and consumes less power unlike the bluetooth technology.Wibree is meant for smaller devices such as watches, wireless keyboards, etc which are connected to host devices such as mobile phones, computers etc. designed for ultra low power consumption (button cell batteries) within a short range (10 meters / 30 ft) based around low-cost transceiver microchips in each device.

A watch could display the user’s incoming text messages, for instance, or an action figure toy could sense the presence of other toys
The technology used by blurtooth and wibree is the same also now The Wibree specification will become part of the Bluetooth specification as an ultra low power Bluetooth technology. Wibree development was started by nokia back in 2001 and now will be royalty free.

“Nokia’s contribution of its Wibree technology into the Bluetooth SIG as the basis for ultra low power Bluetooth specifications will continue to enhance the consumer experience of connecting to anything and anyone from anywhere with Bluetooth wireless technology,” said John R. Barr, Ph.D., chairman of the Bluetooth SIG board of directors. “This new technology, as the basis of a wide range of ultra low power devices, is a commendable advancement in Bluetooth technology.”
