BLE Gateway – Exark EX3000-t

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

EX3000-t is an in-house Bluetooth ® IoT gateway developed by Exark for Bluetooth device data collection and upload with WPA2-EAP enter- prise-level encryption, hence assisting users to connect to cloud servers quickly, ensuring data security and privacy. With the EXARK CONTROL PLATFORM, its connection version can communicate bidirectionally with asset tags, and environmental sensors by down- link configuration operation. Its embedded colorful circle light strip serves as an indicator to remind users of its status. The EX3000-t gateway is designed to help users quickly implement high-value location-based services and help users boost their efficiency while lowering variable costs. It has a wide range of applications, including warehouses, healthcare, retailing, and manufacturing.

KEY FEATURES

Bidirectional Communication  & Wide-Range Detection

The connection version has a bidirectional communication function. It can make the terminal light up, ring, upgrade, and change parameters in bulk and remotely through the Exark CONTROL PLATFORM. And with a high level of Bluetooth sensitivity, a superior antenna design, and special electrical treatment, EX3000-t can cover up to 300 meters of radius in an open area, helping users to lower the deployment cost and achieving high economic efficiency.

 Self-repairing Fault & High Stability

EX3000-t gateway has WiFi recovery function and can add multiple WiFi access points. To prevent data loss, it can store data locally in case of disconnecting. Through compelling troubleshooting and recovery capabilities, it is guaranteed that the gateway works flawlessly and is maintenance-free.

High Throughput & Data can be Filtered

EX3000-t can collect and process 400~800 data packets per second, collecting and monitoring data from massive Bluetooth devices with a large coverage. The scanning interval and uploading interval can be adjusted to better fit each individual scenario. It has multiple data filtering options, not only controls the data flow but also filters out the dupli- cates, to reduce redundant data.

 Remote Access and Manage by Batch

Other than connecting by WiFi, users can access it remotely. And use a tool kit to change settings or update firmware by batch. Users can also subscribe to related subjects and receive status reports instantaneously, making the process as easy as a breeze.

High Security & Strong Compatibility

EX3000-t supports WPA/WPA2-EAP enterprise-level encryp- tion, to keep unauthorized people from accessing or chang- ing settings. When data is transferred by MǪTT protocol, SSL/TLS security protocol, and CA certificates are optional for ensuring data security. EX3000-t is compatible with different Bluetooth devices, supporting various data formats to meet the requirements of different development platforms.

 Flexible Installation & Fast Upgrade

EX3000-t supports PoE and 5V power adapters. It can be installed with screws, magnets, or brackets to fit different scenarios. Users can upgrade its firmware via OTA upgrades with a special lighting effect as an indicator during the upgrade process. It also supports upgrading by USB, FILE, LAN, etc., which makes maintenance fast and easy.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

 

Deploy the EX3000-t gateway by adjusting to the on-site environment. Choose the best installa- tion method according to your scenario.

Bundle the Bluetooth beacon device with the asset, person, tool, or mobile device that needs to be located.

Within the scanning range, the EX3000-t gateway will receive the Bluetooth signal broadcast signal from the Bluetooth beacon and upload it to the corresponding server through different network protocols.

The user parses the data and can also control the terminal after giving command to accomplish objectives such as position and asset management.

SOFTWARE SUPPORT

  • TagCloud and Exark CONTROL PLATFORM are for visualized demonstration and the API is provided.
  • The gateway firmware’s SDK is provided, and functions are user-customizable
PRECAUTIONS
  • Standard and connection versions are available for selection. The connection efficiency of the gateway is proportional to the number of Bluetooth modules. If you need multiple Bluetooth modules (up to 6), you can place a customized order.
  • EX3000-t can be powered by 5V/1A DC or PoE. The unified adapter is not provided due to incompatibility in different countries.
  • To ensure normal scanning and accuracy, try to install as far away as possible from corners, metal, glass shields, and other obstructions.
