BGA100
Introduction
BGA100 is a compact indoor bluetooth gateway with WIFI as backhaul.
BGA100 has a compact appearance, the same size as a Raspberry Pi. It is powered by a USB Type-C interface that has electrical characteristics matching many power adapters. It provides multiple user interfaces, four LED indicators to display various working state, and two function Keys to reset the gateway and restore factory configuration. Specifically, in order to reduce interference and improve reception sensitivity, both WIFI and Bluetooth adopt an external antenna design. It can be placed on the table, mounted on the wall or ceiling with attached accessories.
BGA100 complies with bluetooth version 5.0 protocol and has good interoperability and scalable capacity. It adopts FONNCENT’s self-developed bluetooth protocol stack, supporting to customize features and functions according to customer requirement.
BGA100 WIFI supports 802.11bgn, operates in the 2.4G frequency band, and has good compatibility with various WIFI routers.
BGA100 provides a WIFI hotspot and local web server, allowing users to initialize, install, and configure the gateway using computers, tablets, and mobile phones.
BGA100 supports to integrate with Bluetooth gateway management platform BCX100. Users can remotely manage and maintain the gateway on the BCX100 platform, including log upload, server certificate download, application software upgrade, and bluetooth firmware upgrade, etc.
BGA100 adopts a flexible architecture and easy-to-use application programming interface (API), which make the gateway easily be integrated into various IoT projects.
BGA100 can be used in a variety of application scenarios such as sensor data collecting, medical device monitoring, personal health checking, smart campus, smart manufacturer, asset tracking etc.
