Components of BLE Gateways, Beacons & Accessories Module

Below are general answers on typical components of a BLE Gateways, Beacons & Accessories Module from the list of GAO Tek’s BLE Gateways, Beacons, and Accessories Module.

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Module: This is the core component that enables communication with BLE devices such as beacons and sensors. It includes a BLE chip and antenna.
Microcontroller Unit (MCU): The MCU is the brain of the gateway, responsible for processing data, managing communications, and controlling other components. It runs the gateway’s software.
Wireless Connectivity Module: In addition to BLE, the gateway may include other wireless connectivity options such as Wi-Fi, Zigbee, or LoRa to communicate with other devices or the internet.
Power Supply: This can be a battery or a power adapter, depending on the application. Some gateways may also support Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Sensors: Depending on the application, the gateway may include sensors such as temperature, humidity, or motion sensors to gather environmental data.
Memory: The gateway needs memory to store firmware, configuration settings, and temporary data.
Interfaces: These include UART, SPI, I2C, USB, and Ethernet ports for connecting to other devices and networks.
Enclosure: The enclosure protects the components from environmental factors and provides mounting options.
Software: The gateway runs software that manages communication with BLE devices, processes data, and interfaces with other systems.
Power Management Circuitry: This ensures efficient power usage and may include features like sleep modes to conserve battery life.
