- Operates in both a gateway mode for sensor connectivity or as a beacon for proximity marketing and location analytics
- Manages and remotely configures the Bluetooth radio through Cradlepoint NetCloud Manager
- Provides status of the BLE interface as well as client analytics on a dashboard while in the gateway mode
- Eliminates the hardware and management burden of a dedicated Bluetooth network for small footprint locations
- Supports Wi-Fi and BLE coexistence to mitigate potential interference delivering better performance when both radios are active
