Overview
Our BLE-Based Access Control System for Employee Time & Attendance is designed for wide-area, long-range applications. This advanced solution uses BLE technology to provide reliable and accurate employee entry and exit logging across large facilities. Unlike traditional RFID, BLE offers superior range, battery life, and flexibility, making it ideal for managing attendance in large industrial or corporate environments. BLE’s long-range capability allows coverage of up to 900 ft (300 meters) indoors and up to 5,000 ft (1,500 meters) outdoors, ensuring that even the most expansive facilities are covered efficiently.
The system consists of one or more BLE gateways, which work seamlessly with multiple BLE beacons to provide precise access control. BLE gateways can be powered by PoE, battery, solar power, or power outlets, offering flexibility in installation. Rugged IP67-rated beacons, powered by batteries or solar energy, are designed for harsh environments, ensuring long-term reliability.
Features
- Adjustable Range: Up to 900 ft (300 meters) indoors and 5,000 ft (1,500 meters) outdoors, suitable for wide-area coverage.
- Long Battery Life: Beacons have up to 10 years of battery life, reducing maintenance frequency.
- Flexible Power Options: Gateways can be powered via PoE, battery, solar, or power outlets, while beacons offer battery or solar power options.
- Durable Design: IP67-rated beacons are rugged and suitable for industrial or outdoor environments.
- Scalable Setup: Supports multiple gateways and beacons for tailored coverage of large areas.
- Easy Installation: BLE gateways should be placed at key entry points, and beacons are installed at employee workstations or time clock zones for efficient tracking.
