BLE for IoT

 

Blecon is a data network service that enables physical products and sensors to communicate with cloud applications using Bluetooth Low Energy

Bluetooth Low Energy

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a wireless technology unrivalled in adoption and economies of scale. It already powers connections for billions of the world's low-cost wireless devices and tracking beacons, and is supported in every phone and laptop.

Blecon leverages Bluetooth Low Energy to connect products and sensors to cloud applications at a lower cost than ever before.

  • Secure data channel to any cloud service
  • Deploy Hotspots with smartphones, laptops and gateways
  • Devices can use any Hotspot without pairing
  • Library SDK and Modem Firmware for fast integration

Blecon Network

Route device requests to your server

Services

Location & Data

The Blecon Network provides secure identity and bi-directional cloud communication along with geolocation and time services.
 
Requests are routed to your application through any nearby Blecon Hotspot, without pairing. 
Clients

Request Channels

Blecon enables devices to operate as clients, making requests and sending messages on different channels to your backend services.

e.g. Product Analytics, Marketing Insights, Sensor Telematics or Engineering Diagnostics.

A Data Network

Network Integration

Blecon is designed for integration.

A device message or request triggers HTTP(S) JSON requests to your cloud endpoints.

How you respond, store and work with your data is up to you. 

Blecon Hotspots

Deploy coverage without configuration or pairing

Mobile Apps

Mobile Hotspots

iOS and Android devices can be enabled as Blecon Hotspots by installing a free App, and will function in the background. 

Desktop Apps

Desktop Hotspots

MacOS and Windows computers can be enabled as Blecon Hotspots with a free App, and don't require any account or configuration.

Hardware Hotspots

Hardware Hotspots

Dedicated hardware enables Blecon coverage to be deployed in specific locations, optimised for low cost and high performance.

Blecon Firmware

Enable hardware with BLE cloud connectivity

Blecon Library-2

Blecon Library

With the Blecon Library and SDK, Zephyr and other embedded frameworks now have support for the Blecon Network.

Blecon Modem

Blecon Modem

The Blecon Modem firmware turns a BLE chip or module into a discrete device that provides drop-in Blecon support for a host MCU.

OEM Devices-1

OEM Devices

Our OEM partners are enabling generic sensors with Blecon firmware, making off-the-shelf low-cost hardware readily available for many applications.

Getting Started

Sign-up to create your first Network.

Connecting it to a web backend is beautifully simple. 

You can integrate Blecon support in hardware using the Blecon Library or discrete Modem firmware.

In addition, samples of off-the-shelf OEM sensor devices are available.

Unlock the potential of BLE 

Low-cost Data

With Blecon, BLE is unlocked for cloud connection. Requests from products and sensors are delivered transparently via nearby mobile and dedicated hotspots to your cloud service, and are encrypted and signed for authenticity.

Enable Innovation

Blecon provides the foundation for innovative cloud data solutions and is designed for integration, allowing rapid development and iteration that gets results.

Simple Production

Avoid manufacturing complexity with a security model designed for production. With Blecon, device security is solved and configuration is eliminated.
