This will guide you through setting up the first BluFi of your project
Step-by-step guide
System Overview
The high-level network architecture of bluvision system is comprised of mainly three components
- Beacons
- BluFI Gateway
- Bluzone Cloud
The beacons sensors transmit real time data to the BluFi gateway. BluFi (Bluetooth to Wi-Fi Gateway) receives the data from the asset tags and forward to bluzone cloud over the Wi-Fi network. The system also has the flexibility to transfer the data via smart phones with SDK/ app. The Bluzone cloud allow user to create policies for sensors and check the real-time status of the assets.
About BluFI
BluFi are Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) to Wi gateways that relay signals between BEEKs Beacons and the cloud of HID Global’s end-to-end IoT ecosystem. In combination with the corresponding BluzoneTM cloud
services, BluFi enable BEEKs beacons to be centrally managed through the cloud, to transfer new messages, firmware updates, sensor data and battery status checks remotely. Their unique design allows BluFi devices and BEEKs beacons to broadcast reliably even in densely populated Wi-Fi environments.
