The IoT Cloud Platform
-
Flexible in Installation
Available as SaaS or On-Premise solution, specific for your use case and requirements in managing IoT hardware and software over BLE mesh.
-
Multi-Tenant Scalability
You are able to define roles and rights to grant the correct access to the right people. Scale your project to the size you need and keep it all centralized.
-
Administration
Manage your Organisation, Sites and Devices. Overview, enrollment and maintenance at your fingertips. Place devices in the overview via drag-and-drop.
-
APIs & Connection
Use REST or MQTT APIs to connect your own applications or platforms to the direct data stream of the BlueRange platform. Get and send information via well documented APIs.
The Firmware
-
Auto-Meshing
The BlueRange Firmware is developed for a maximum of scalability, self-healing in case of connection loss and self-organized connection setup.
-
Energy Efficiency
Optimized for a maximum of performance and data troughput with a minimum of power consumption, BlueRange is ideal for BLE and battery powered use cases.
-
Over-The-Air Updates
With BlueRange you are able to deploy software updates over-the-air, with just a few clicks in the platform, or in a custom application. Adapt conveniently to changing requirements in different use cases.
-
Modular Architecture
The BlueRange firmware can easily be adapted to specific use cases and ensures high stability, security (AES-128) and yet flexibility. Custom modules for proprietary devices can be added.
-
Open Source Implementation
BlueRange offers an Open Source implementation for easy learning and training development with BlueRange mesh. Developments with the Open Source implementation seamlessly work in commercial BlueRange.
The BLE Mesh Protocol
-
Backwards Compatibility BLE 4.2
Other than the standard BLE mesh, BlueRange supports devices with Bluetooth standard backwards to version 4.2 and newer. You are able to use current and older devices.
-
Energy Optimization
The protocol is designed to enable low battery consumption while being connected the whole time. This is based on the BlueRange directed acyclic graph meshing.
-
Nordic Optimized
BlueRange mesh is designed and implemented for Nordic Semiconductors chipsets nRF51/52. Porting to other chipsets of different manufacturers is in progress.
Tools & SDKs
-
Enrollment App
The BlueRange Enrollment App allows to enroll devices with a mobile device on site at the moment of installation. Ensure to enroll the correct device with the correct serial at the correct position.
-
Mobile SDKs
BlueRange offers an iOS SDK and an Android SDK for development to include BlueRange into your own applications on mobile devices.
-
Platform APIs
Use REST or MQTT APIs to connect your own applications or platforms to the direct data stream of the BlueRange platform. Get and send information via well documented APIs.
-
Beacon Scanner App
With the BlueRange Beacon Scanner App you are able to scan for different kinds of BLE beacons, e.g. BlueRange Mesh and Asset Beacons, iBeacons, Eddystone Beacons.
-
Developer and User Documentation
BlueRange is documented for developers to work and develop with BlueRange, as well as for users of BlueRange components as the platform.
-
Programming & Services
Of course, we also take over the programming and configuration of the room control and SmartHome solution on request. We also support the programming and adaptation of the software to OEM specific hardware.
Mesh Beacons and Asset Beacons
-
Power
Mesh Beacons last up to 3 months in an asset tracking use case when battery powered. Mesh Beacons can also be a fixed line device powered by a socket. Asset Beacons last up to 4 years.
-
Auto-Meshing
BlueRange beacons automatically form a mesh connection as soon as they are defined as the same network. The mesh is self-organizing and self-healing by the best possible connections between devices.
-
Nordic Optimized
Our reference hardware beacons are based on the Nordic Semiconductors chipsets nRF51/52 with softdevice S130/S132.
-
Advertising Message Format
BlueRange Mesh Beacons can send advertising messages in these formats: iBeacon, Eddystone-UID, -URL, -TLM, BlueRange Tag Message
-
Compatibility
BlueRange is compatible to BLE 4.2 or newer and iOS 8 or higher and Android 4.3 or higher. Experience BLE meshing on devices without Bluetooth 5.
The Mesh Gateway
-
Gateway Device
The gateway communicates via an custom HAT with the BLE mesh on the one hand and on the other hand with the BlueRange server via the internet.
-
Edge Computing
The Mesh Gateway aggregates the mesh information. Several algorithms and calculations are directly processed in the gateway device. The processed data is then sent to the BlueRange platform.
-
Remote Access
Via the gateway you are able to remotely access your BLE mesh network and manage software updates for beacons and gateway OS and firmware easily yourself.
