BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) 5.2 with Silabs BG22 iBeacon, Eddystone, MikroTik telemetry
TG-BT5-IN: slim and sleek, perfect for indoor inventory tracking
Bluetooth tags play a huge role in IoT setups, where Bluetooth is used to
broadcast the data over short distances. You can use these small devices
for proximity-based tracking of various objects. For example, if you have
a KNOT gateway in different parts of a construction site, you can use these
37x22x6mm
tags to locate construction tools, electrical equipment, and other assets.
Just attach the tags to the necessary items - and the nearest gateway will sense the tags in its
proximity. Exceptionally useful in warehouse logistics – let your cargo inform you as soon as it enters
the warehouse! They use so little power that a single built-in 220 mAh battery will last for years.
Once activated, the tag will broadcast iBeacon, Eddystone or MikroTik telemetry advertising packets
to the gateway (such as the KNOT or any other BLE gateway). These packets contain MAC address
used for ID, as well as telemetry data – such as acceleration, tilt and battery charge level. The
gateway then pushes the data to the remote server utilizing MQTT or HTTP protocols. By default,
advertisement packets are sent once every 5 seconds, but you can change this value to your
liking. For example, if you set the interval to 1 second, the battery will typically last two years. The
built-in accelerometers can not only detect acceleration (movement), but can also register if the
device was dropped or tilted (free-fall detection). The indoor version of our BLE tags works best in
a temperature range from 0°C to 70°C. It is splash-proof, and comes with a built-in accelerometer.
Like the indoor version, this tag also supports iBeacon, Eddystone, and MikroTik telemetry formats.
There is an NFC encoded MAC address and optional encryption. Unlike the indoor version, the
outdoor tag comes with a built-in temperature sensor that can be used for condition monitoring.
The ±0.5°C precision can be very useful in cold supply chain logistics.
TG-BT5-OUT features an improved 550 mAH battery that will last around five years (with a sending
interval of 1s). It is suitable for strapping to all kinds of surfaces, and it can handle a temperature
range of -20°C to 85°C.
Combine these tags with our KNOT IoT gateway to create the most affordable and flexible
asset-tracking or telemetry setup ever!
