Overview

BLE Gateways serve as the backbone of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) ecosystems by bridging communication between BLE devices and backend servers or cloud platforms. They collect and forward data from beacons, sensors, or tags, enabling seamless real-time tracking, condition monitoring, and automation across a wide range of environments. BLE Gateways are valued for their low power consumption, ease of deployment, and support for scalable IoT infrastructures.

In New Zealand, BLE Gateways are rapidly gaining traction in industries such as healthcare, agriculture, logistics, retail, and smart buildings. Their ability to support data-driven decisions and automate processes makes them a strategic asset for organisations looking to enhance operational efficiency, safety, and compliance. BLE Gateways are particularly suitable for New Zealand’s mixed urban and rural environments, providing reliable connectivity in both indoor and outdoor settings.

GAO RFID Inc. provides BLE Gateway solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing systems, support compliance with New Zealand regulations, and offer high reliability through industrial-grade components and expert support.

GAO Case Studies

  • Auckland, Auckland Region

A logistics operation in Auckland deployed BLE gateways to track forklifts and cargo within a warehouse. The system improved data accuracy and reduced delays in processing inventory, resulting in faster order handling and lower operational errors.

  • Wellington, Wellington Region

A hospital in Wellington integrated BLE gateways to monitor medical equipment and patient movement. The system delivered instant location updates and improved care response times, streamlining resource allocation and internal coordination.

  • Christchurch, Canterbury Region

An educational institute in Christchurch implemented BLE gateways for lab access and device tracking. Real-time data logging improved compliance and safety while reducing equipment misplacement and unauthorised entries.

  • Hamilton, Waikato Region

A dairy operation in Hamilton installed BLE gateways to connect environmental sensors and livestock tags. The deployment enabled remote monitoring, helping farmers conserve water and improve animal care through better movement analysis.

  • Dunedin, Otago Region

A retail company in Dunedin utilised BLE gateways to capture customer movement data across stores. This allowed them to optimise layout designs and refine product placement strategies, resulting in enhanced customer engagement and increased sales.
