Overview

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is transforming how devices communicate wirelessly over short distances in a low-power, high-efficiency manner. This technology is being rapidly adopted across Austria in sectors such as logistics, healthcare, smart buildings, and manufacturing due to its reliability and energy-saving benefits. BLE enables seamless data transmission and integration into broader IoT infrastructures, making it a strategic component for automation and tracking solutions. GAO RFID Inc., with global headquarters in New York City and Toronto, offers a wide range of BLE products and systems for the Austrian market—backed by decades of R&D, stringent quality standards, and expert technical support.

 What is BLE Technology?

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a wireless communication protocol designed for short-range, low-power, and secure data transmission. Unlike classic Bluetooth, BLE significantly reduces power consumption, allowing battery-operated devices to function for years without maintenance. It operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and supports multiple security layers, including pairing encryption and data authentication. BLE technology is widely used in asset tracking, access control, real-time location systems (RTLS), and environmental sensing. At GAO RFID Inc., we offer BLE solutions that are adaptable, scalable, and designed to integrate seamlessly with cloud and on-premises systems to meet the needs of Austrian industries.

BLE Product Categories

GAO RFID offers a comprehensive selection of BLE Products including:

  • BLE Gateways

BLE gateways are critical components in IoT networks, acting as intermediaries between BLE-enabled devices and centralised servers or cloud platforms. They collect broadcast signals from BLE beacons and tags and transmit this data through Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or cellular connectivity. Common applications in Austria include smart city infrastructure, healthcare facilities, and industrial plants. Our BLE gateways offer advanced features such as multi-protocol support, secure data handling, and remote management. GAO RFID’s BLE gateway solutions are designed to meet the performance and regulatory requirements of Austrian organisations, with the backing of our expert technical team.

  • BLE Beacons

BLE beacons are small, battery-operated transmitters that emit signals at regular intervals, allowing nearby BLE-compatible devices to identify their proximity. These beacons are ideal for indoor positioning systems, retail analytics, visitor tracking, and asset management in Austrian environments. GAO RFID offers BLE beacons with extended battery life, compact and rugged designs, and support for multiple broadcasting protocols including iBeacon and Eddystone. They are easy to deploy and can be configured for various signal strengths and broadcast intervals to suit specific use cases.

BLE International Standards

BLE products offered by GAO RFID Inc. are developed in alignment with major international standards, including:

  • Bluetooth Core Specification 5.0 or higher – Governs the fundamental communication protocol of BLE, enabling improved range, speed, and broadcasting capacity.
  • ISO/IEC 24730-5 – A global standard for real-time locating systems using wireless technology.
  • ETSI EN 300 328 – Defines technical characteristics and test methods for wideband transmission systems, including BLE, operating in the 2.4 GHz band.

Austrian Regulations for BLE Technology

BLE devices and systems used in Austria must comply with national and European Union regulations to ensure safe and interference-free operation:

  • Austrian Telecommunications Act (Telekommunikationsgesetz – TKG): This law regulates all aspects of electronic communications in Austria. BLE systems must operate within the specified frequency bands and avoid causing harmful interference to other wireless services.
  • Electromagnetic Compatibility Regulation (EMV-V): BLE devices must meet strict standards to ensure that they do not emit or are not overly affected by electromagnetic interference, thus ensuring stable and safe operations within industrial and public environments.
  • Radio Equipment Directive (RED): This EU-wide directive, applicable in Austria, requires BLE products to meet safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and radio frequency usage requirements. Devices must carry the CE marking to demonstrate compliance, allowing them to be marketed and used across the EU.

GAO RFID Inc. ensures all BLE products offered in Austria meet these regulatory standards and are ready for immediate deployment in various sectors.
