BLE is the short form of Bluetooth low energy, which can be used on both Android and iPhone, it came to the market in 2011 as Bluetooth 4.0. Bluetooth 4.0 consumes low powers; BLE terminals can run on a small battery for four to five years, it is vital for applications that only need to exchange small amounts of data periodically.
BLE products operates in the 2.4 GHz band, it remains in sleep mode constantly unless a connection is initiated. The actual connection times are only a few milliseconds because its data rates are so high at 1 Mb/s.
Normally a BLE application system is composite of gateway and beacon, the beacon is sending Bluetooth broadcast signal which includes valuable information, the gateway is hardware to receive the Bluetooth signal, process, and analysis to meet the application requirement.
Typical Application Of BLE IOT Gateway & Beacon
Based on the different operation modes, BLE technology can be used for location service, data transition, and mesh network for equipment connection.
Location Service
Through analysis of the power strength or the arrive of the angle of the signal, the BLE gateway can gain a rough or accurate position of the beacon, it is from tens of centimeters to several meters, can be used for assets management, people tracking, work in process management, safety management, electric fence, warehouse management, action analysis, operation optimization, etc;
Data Transition
Based on the data transition mode, the Bluetooth radio can deliver sensor information from the bluetooth ble beacon , it can be temperature, humidity, light, magnetic, vibration or other status information, is an ideal solution for condition monitoring in an industrial and commercial environment, to monitor the situation of running equipment and environment. by accumulating sensor data, and adapting to AI algorism, it can predict the failure of machines.
