The only thing that makes sense to me is that given the same distance from the peer (the bridge in this case), it would consume less energy than BLE. They do claim, however, to accommodate longer ranges (by design) than BLE and I wonder if this holds true with no modification to the device itself (i.e. different RF blocks for short/long range).
