B-MOBILE   PLACEMENT 
SCENARIO
Placement 1
This	scenario	applies	to	projects	with	more	small	rooms	
or	security	inspection.
1.	 Deploy	a	gateway	in	each	room	like	a	meeting	
room,	office	or	warehouse	shown	in	the	map.
2.	 Deploy	solar	Bluetooth	gateway	outdoor	for	securi-
ty	inspection.
3.	 Gateway	forwards	beacon	information	when	a	new	
beacon	enters	or	lefts	its	range.
4.	 Accuracy:	This	scenario	is	used	to	determine	wheth-
er	the	beacon	is	in	the	room	or	in	its	coverage.	
5.	 Algorithm:	Distance	between	beacon	and	Gateway	
can	be	calculated,	but	the	direction	is	unknown.	
Beacon	signal	may	be	received	by	gateways	in	a	
nearby	room.	Use	our	cloud	software	to	avoid	the	
mistake.
6.	 Map:	We	have	a	cloud	map	service	for	users	to	use.	
Please	contact	us	to	gain	access	to	the	algorithm	
and	map	service	API	document.
7.	 APP:	We	have	an	asset	and	people	tracking	man-
agement	APP	and	Web	service.	Please	contact	us	
for	more	information.

SCENARIO
Placement 2
1.	 Use	triangle	positioning	to	calculate	more	accurate	
coordinates	in	large	room	or	area.
2.	 Deploy	Bluetooth	gateways	about	10m	from	each	
other	in	each	corner	of	the	office	as	shown	in	the	
map.
3.	 The	4	gateways	forward	beacon	information	(major,	
minor,	RSSI	.etc.)	when	beacon	enters	or	leave	the	
range.
4.	 Accuracy:	Up	to	3m
5.	 Algorithm:	Triangulation	and	filtering	algorithm.
6.	 Map:	We	have	a	cloud	map	service	for	users	to	use.	
Please	contact	us	to	gain	access	to	the	algorithm	
and	map	service	API	document.
7.	 APP:	We	have	an	asset	and	people	tracking	man-
agement	APP	and	Web	service.	Please	contact	us	
for	more	information.
•	 Considering	that	the	assets	rarely	move,	gateway	
receives	multiple	groups	of	beacon	information	so	
that	coordinates	of	asset	tracking	are	more	accu-
rate	than	people	tracking	in	this	scenario.	
•	 Placement	1	and	2	can	be	used	simultaneously	and	
the	algorithm	will	detect	automatically.	
• Application: Factory, Warehouse, School, Hos-
pital
