BLE Gateway
BLE LTE Gateway
The BLE LTE Gateway is a compact Bluetooth Low Energy gateway with LTE-M and NB-IoT connectivity for collecting and forwarding BLE beacon data. Featuring BLE 4.x/5.x, an ESP32-S3 platform, Nordic nRF52832, HTTP, MQTT, UDP, and TCP support, as well as web-based configuration, the gateway is ideal for indoor tracking, asset tracking, people localization, and BLE-based IoT infrastructures.
Potential applications
01
Indoor Asset Tracking
Capture BLE beacons from tools, equipment, transport containers, or mobile assets and transmit the data via LTE-M/NB-IoT to your tracking platform.
02
People Localization
In combination with wearable BLE tags, the gateway can be used for localizing employees, visitors, or operating personnel in buildings, industrial areas, or security zones.
03
Mobile BLE Infrastructure
The gateway is suitable for BLE monitoring at locations without existing network cabling. Thanks to its mobile connectivity, temporary or decentralized tracking scenarios can be flexibly implemented.
