A flexible indoor gateway that collects data from Bluetooth LE sensors and tags and sends it to NARA over Wi-Fi, Ethernet or 4G LTE. The cellular backhaul makes it the right choice for sites without reliable IT networks. Long-range scanning reaches up to 600 m in coded-PHY mode. It supports PoE or 12 V power, secure MQTT/HTTPS delivery and OTA firmware updates.
A single gateway for both LoRaWAN and Bluetooth devices, the backbone of a mixed NARA deployment. It reads LoRaWAN sensors such as vibration sensors, helmets and alarms, and Bluetooth tags and beacons, then forwards everything over Wi-Fi, 4G LTE or Ethernet. One unit covers about 1,500–2,000 m² of indoor LoRaWAN area and scans Bluetooth up to 600 m in open space.
The simplest way to bring Bluetooth sensors online. Plug it into any USB power source, such as a vehicle charger, a wall adapter or a machine's USB port, insert a nano-SIM, and it starts forwarding beacon, sensor and tracker data over 4G. It needs no Wi-Fi or network setup. About 30,000 records are buffered offline when coverage drops, which makes it ideal for vehicles, containers and temporary sites.
