Dual-Mode Access Point includes IoT Gateway functionality with M12 connector


Supporting point-to-multipoint connectivity with several slaves/clients simultaneously to 10/100 Base-T Ethernet network, RBE221s Bluetooth Smart Ready Access Point follows Bluetooth Spec v4.0 and depending on connected device, wireless range can be up to 300 m. Unit supports Personal Area Network User and Network Access Point as well as generic Bluetooth low energy GATT-based services. It can be configured via physical configuration buttons and indication LEDs or web interface. 

connectBlue has today added Internet of Things (IoT) Gateway functionality to its Bluetooth Dual-mode Access Point RBE221s which is also referred to as a Bluetooth Smart Ready Access Point. Whenever the RBE221s now is connected to the Internet via Ethernet, any web application running on a web server can be used to access data in Bluetooth low energy (Bluetooth Smart) devices connected to the access point.

With the introduction of IoT Gateway functionality in the Bluetooth Dual-mode Access Point RBE221s, the RBE221s can now allow for web applications to – via HTTP commands – simultaneously access any Bluetooth low energy device. The RBE221s is a Bluetooth Smart Ready Gateway which means that it can use the standard Generic Attribute Profile (GATT) to access any Bluetooth low energy (Bluetooth Smart) device.

“Internet of Things is the hottest topic right now and the potential is huge; predictions span from 25–50 billion IoT devices by 2020,” says Rolf Nilsson, CEO of connectBlue. “But in order to fully utilize the IoT architecture, you need a Gateway to get access to the Bluetooth low energy sensor nodes and this IoT Gateway is now added via our Access Point.”

connectBlue customers are found in demanding wireless applications in the industrial and medical industries. A popular application for the IoT Gateway in an industrial application would be to, for instance, read temperature data from various sensors via a web interface on a commercially available device such as a smartphone. In a medical application one can, for instance, access real-time data from various patients’ heart rate monitors in customized web applications on any internet connected web device.
The Bluetooth Dual-mode Access Point use M12 connectors for waterproof connector. M12 connectors can ensure a tight connection and keep Ethernet connections from popping loose in high-vibration applications, such as in moving vehicles.
