Bluetooth sensors in the 5G campus network

Until now, the relatively short radio range of Bluetooth has been a hindrance for sensor applications with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) in industrial environments. SSV meets this challenge with the help of local 5G mobile networks.

Secure Sensor Beacon (SSB) from SSV

SSV 's Secure Sensor Beacon (SSB) enables applications with several thousand BLE data points and large spatial coverage. SSB creates high-resolution data images of machines, systems and buildings, from which high-quality information can be obtained using artificial intelligence. End-to-end security is used to ensure the authenticity and integrity of each individual data point.

In Hanover, SSV will be presenting the interaction between the Bluetooth low-energy-based SSB protocol and 5G technology to the public. The sensor data from an evaluation module for smart factory sensors is sent via Bluetooth to a 5G industrial gateway as an SSB agent and transmitted from there to the SSB collector via a campus network. There, the data is available to other systems.
