Protocols
BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy)
Low-power wireless technology for connecting temperature, presence and identification sensors.
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a short-range, low-power wireless communication technology designed to transmit small amounts of data between devices.
BLE in vehicle telematics
In the context of GPS trackers, BLE allows connecting wireless sensors to the tracking device without additional cables. This simplifies installation and expands tracker capabilities.
