Location Tracking System For Portable Intelligence
Wireless Bluetooth Gateway (WBG100)
& Host Controller (HC1)
Product Overview
Wireless Bluetooth Smart Gateway
(WBG100)
The Location Tracking System consists of at least one Wireless Bluetooth Smart Gateway (WBG100) and a Host Controller (HC1), or it can be made up of many Gateways (WBG100's) and a Host Controller (HC1). Each Gateway receives and processes signals from surrounding iBeacon and similar Bluetooth Smart transmitters, processes out 'noise' (unwanted beacon/transmitter signals), and then sends data via a network to the Host Controller. The Host Controller gathers the data, formats it for easy access, and posts it to a web-based database, allowing for access via XML interface.
Each Gateway (WBG100) is battery powered, which means quick and easy installation with no wiring required. They can be attached at any location, inside or out, to track transmitter signals up to the maximum Bluetooth Smart range (about 300 feet). The tethered Gateway networking capability - sending data amongst other WBG100's or the Host Controller – can cover warehouses in excess of 500,000 square feet. The Host Controller (HC1) requires an outlet for power, and sends information to the web (XML format) either via Ethernet cable or WiFi.
