Mikrotik TG-BT5-IN Indoor Bluetooth Tags
Indoor Bluetooth tags for the MikroTik KNOT or other IoT asset tracking/telemetry configurations.
Bluetooth tags play a very important role in IoT setups, where Bluetooth is used to transmit data over short distances. You can use these small devices for proximity tracking of various objects. For example, if you have a KNOT walkway in different parts of a construction site, you can use these tags to locate construction tools, electrical equipment and other assets.
Simply place the tags on the required items and the nearest gateway will detect the tags in their proximity. They are exceptionally useful in warehouse logistics: let your cargo inform you as soon as it enters the warehouse! They use so little power that a single integrated 220 mAh battery will last for years.
Once activated, the tag will broadcast iBeacon, Eddystone or MikroTik telemetry advertisement packets to the gateway (such as KNOT or any other BLE gateway). These packets contain the MAC address used for identification, as well as telemetry data such as acceleration, tilt and battery charge level. The gateway then sends the data to the remote server using the MQTT or HTTP protocols. By default, advertising packets are sent once every 5 seconds, but you can change this value to your liking. For example, if you set the interval to 1 second, the battery usually lasts for two years. The built-in accelerometers can not only detect acceleration (movement), but can also register whether the device has been dropped or tilted (free fall detection). The indoor version of our BLE tags works best in a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. It is splash resistant and comes with a built-in accelerometer.
