BLE FAQs

Need to know more about BLE?  Below we answer some of the common questions we get about our BLE products.

BLE is a wireless communication technology that is designed to consume very little power, making it ideal for small, low-cost, battery-powered devices that require short-range communication. GAO has a wide range of BLE products helping businesses improve security, safety, and productivity.

BLE uses radio waves to transmit data between two devices. IOur BLE beacons operate in the 2.4 to 2.5 GHz band and use frequency hopping to reduce interference. BLE communication involves pairing, advertising, scanning, connection, data exchange, and disconnection phases. Devices can operate in different modes, such as central or peripheral, and support different profiles and services. BLE is commonly used in applications such as IoT, healthcare, and fitness tracking. Our BLE devices are typically small and have low power requirements, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

The read distance of BLE can vary depending on several factors such as the type of device, the antenna used, and the environment in which the device is operating. Generally, the range for BLE devices is up to 300 meters. However, the actual range may be shorter or longer depending on the specific circumstances.

For example: The reading range between 127050 and compatible gateways/receivers could be up to 300 meters.

Factors that can interfere with BLE signals include physical obstructions such as walls, metal objects, or water, as well as other wireless signals in the same frequency range. In addition, the signal strength can also be affected by the distance and battery life of the BLE devices.

Interference issues can be addressed in several ways, including adjusting the transmission power of our BLE devices, increasing the number of BLE beacons in the environment, or using signal filtering techniques to reduce interference from other wireless signals in the same frequency range. It is important to conduct proper site surveys and testing to optimize the BLE system’s performance in America and Canada.

BLE technology may not be suitable for environments where there are a lot of physical obstructions or where the signal needs to travel long distances. It may not be the best option in unsecured parking areas, where the risk of theft or vandalism is high. In addition, BLE may not be ideal for applications that require high bandwidth, such as video streaming or large data transfers. However, it can still be used effectively in a variety of industries and applications with proper planning and configuration.

Yes, BLE is highly secure, with built-in encryption and authentication features. Our BLE devices use secure pairing protocols to establish a secure connection between devices. However, like any wireless technology, it is important to take steps to secure your devices and data, such as using strong passwords, limiting access to sensitive data, and keeping your software up to date. Our BLE devices will protect your sensitive information and provides more authentication and secured identification.

The reading distance of BLE can be affected by several factors, including:

  • Environmental factors: Physical obstacles, such as walls or metal structures, can block or reflect the signal, reducing the range of the BLE device.
  • Interference: Other wireless devices operating in the same frequency band can cause interference, reducing the range of the BLE device.
  • Power output: The signal strength of the BLE device can affect the range, with higher output power resulting in a greater range but shorter battery life.
  • Antenna quality: The quality of the antenna used in the BLE device can affect the range, with a better antenna allowing for a greater range.
  • Receiver sensitivity: The sensitivity of the receiving device can affect the range, with a more sensitive receiver able to pick up weaker signals and extend the range.
  • Operating frequency: The operating frequency of the BLE device can also affect the range, with higher frequencies resulting in a shorter range but potentially higher data transfer rates.

In summary, the distance of a BLE device can be affected by a range of factors related to the device itself, the surrounding environment, and any interference present. Optimizing these factors can help to maximize the range and reliability of the BLE device.

Businesses can get started with using BLE by first identifying the specific use cases and applications that would benefit from the technology. From there, you can research and select the appropriate GAO’s BLE hardware and software.. It is also important to ensure that proper security measures are in place to protect data and devices.
