Topic: Introduction to Lansitec B-Mobile® Solution
What is “B-Mobile®”?
“B-Mobile” refers to “Bluetooth Beacon“ Mobile
In this solution, Bluetooth Beacons are deployed on assets or personnel, Bluetooth Gateways are deployed at fixed locations.
Network Setup
Deploy Bluetooth gateways at fixed locations. Personnel wears Bluetooth badges/bracelets and messages are sent to the nearby Bluetooth gateways. The Bluetooth gateways then forwards the received information to the server via the wireless LoRa network. Finally, the location of personnel is calculated by the server
Other forms of Bluetooth devices installed on the assets can also be used for asset tracking management, such as such as vehile tracking and key tracking in a dealership, or asset tracking in a hospital.
System Composition
Bluetooth Beacon:
Advertises Bluetooth messages with a fixed interval, installed on an asset and wear by people.
LoRaWAN Gateway:
Transmits the data sent by Bluetooth Gateways to the cloud via 4G or ethernet.
Network Server:
It manages LRaWAN gateways, end nodes, encode and decode LoRaWAN messages, ensure the securiy, scalability and reliability of the network. There are many options on NS, TTN, Chirpstack, Helium, etc.
Tracking Engine:
Calculates the location of devices/personnel, deployed at the cloud or on-premise server.
Map Engine:
Marks the location of Bluetooth beacon, marks the location of the obstruction, displays the location of device or personnel according to requirements, deployed at the cloud or private server.
Application Server:
Provides software services, which include web services and APP services.
