WEXS-BLE-CEL Bluetooth Cellular Gateway
The WEXS-BLE-CEL Bluetooth cellular gateway connects Phoenix Sensors wireless Bluetooth sensors to the cloud using low-power LTE-M and NB-IoT cellular networks.
This gateway collects measurement data from nearby Bluetooth sensors and securely transmits it over global cellular networks for remote monitoring, alerts, and analytics. It enables fast deployment of industrial IoT monitoring systems without requiring WiFi infrastructure or wired network connections.
The WEXS-BLE-CEL gateway can collect Bluetooth beacon advertisements from up to approximately 100 nearby sensors, making it ideal for applications where multiple measurement points must be monitored from a single gateway.
Sensor data can be accessed through the Monsense Device Management Platform, which provides dashboards, alerts, firmware updates, and remote device management tools.
