TinyGateway PoE BLE

TinyGateway PoE BLE is a low-power and low-cost Bluetooth LE gateway, with Ethernet connectivity. TinyGateway PoE BLE is based on ESP32 S3 embedded SoC, with Ethernet 802.3af support, and Nordic nFR52832 SoC for Bluetooth LE scan and connection. It is able to scan for any Bluetooth LE advertising packet, including main beacon technologies, iBeacon and Eddystone. The protocols available for network communication are UDP, TCP, HTTP(S), MQTT(S). TinyGateway PoE BLE is provided in a compact light-weight plastic enclosure suitable for wall or ceiling installation. Power supply is provided through USB-C or RJ45 PoE connector.
