Second, wireless transmission base station (Bluetooth Smart Gateway G1-D)
As a transmission medium for electronic price tags and cloud platforms, wireless transmission base stations play the role of uploading and releasing. The Bluetooth Smart Gateway G1-D is a Bluetooth device control center independently developed by Yunliwuli. It controls the MTag electronic price tag downward through Bluetooth connection and connects to the smart retail platform through the network interface. It can not only monitor the data of the MTag electronic price tag, but also Can control the MTag electronic price tag.
The Bluetooth Smart Gateway G1-D has the following five characteristics:
1. Mature data communication, using Bluetooth wireless communication technology, strong anti-interference ability, low cost and low power consumption, accurate, safe, stable and reliable data communication;
2. The range of swiping and scanning to connect Bluetooth devices is as far as 30m;
3. Two power supply modes: POE48V, micro USB 5V power supply;
4. Data can be uploaded via Ethernet or WIFI;
5. You can modify the parameters of the page configuration through the mobile phone or computer;
6. Can scan and manage thousands of devices at the same time.
