What is BLE Technology?
BLE Technology, also known as Bluetooth Low Energy, is a wireless communication protocol designed for short-range, low-power, and low-bandwidth data transmission. It operates within the 2.4 GHz ISM band and allows devices to connect seamlessly and securely with minimal energy consumption. BLE supports robust communication between devices such as smartphones, sensors, beacons, and gateways, with application potential in asset tracking, smart building management, healthcare, and beyond. Its low energy profile makes it suitable for battery-powered applications and long-term deployments, providing Austrian enterprises with flexibility, scalability, and cost savings.
GAO RFID offers a comprehensive selection of BLE Technology including
BLE Gateways
GAO RFID’s BLE gateways act as data collectors and transmitters between BLE-enabled devices and enterprise systems. These gateways aggregate data from tags, sensors, or beacons and relay it via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or cellular networks to cloud-based or on-premise software platforms. With support for popular communication protocols and onboard filtering, our gateways are ideal for Austrian organisations seeking to digitise asset monitoring, automate building operations, or enhance situational awareness.
BLE Beacons
Our BLE beacons are compact, energy-efficient transmitters that continually send signals to nearby BLE-compatible devices. These beacons support indoor navigation, proximity marketing, and location-based services. Austrian enterprises use them in environments like museums, airports, hospitals, and shopping centres to improve user experiences and operational intelligence. GAO’s beacons offer extended battery life, durable enclosures, and easy remote configuration options.
BLE Accessories
GAO RFID provides BLE accessories such as tags, wristbands, key fobs, and industrial enclosures to complement BLE deployments. These accessories are designed for user comfort, durability, and application-specific requirements. For example, BLE wristbands are ideal for patient or employee tracking, while rugged BLE tags are used in industrial and logistics environments. Our accessories extend BLE functionality across various Austrian sectors with reliable and customisable form factors.
