The Ambient IoT Tipping Point: Turning Frontline Devices Into a Tracking Network

Here is a quick video demonstrating a Âé¶¹¹ú²ú Mobile Hotspot and Âé¶¹¹ú²ú enabled OEM device in action!
Didn't exactly go exactly how we imagined :) But really shows the untapped potential of Bluetooth Low Energy!
In the foreground, you'll see the Âé¶¹¹ú²ú Enabled device.
I have a mobile phone in my pocket that has been enabled with the Âé¶¹¹ú²ú Hotspot app.
As I get nearer the device, you'll see the device can use the Hotspot to make a request via the Âé¶¹¹ú²ú Network to the (in this case simply a webhook viewer, but normally your server/lambda/api gateway).
This OEM device includes the Âé¶¹¹ú²ú Modem firmware, using it to report motion, orientation, temperature and humidity events from the device to the web service using a Âé¶¹¹ú²ú Network.
The request/response payloads with Âé¶¹¹ú²ú can actually be anything (each message can be up to ~4kb binary data).
The OEM Âé¶¹¹ú²ú enabled sensor in the video is available if you want to test our Cloud Native Bluetooth infrastructure yourself. If you are considering building your own, there is also a Modem breakout board:
Merry Xmas Bluetooth Fans!

Asset tracking is often discussed in terms of range, infrastructure and cost. Those things matter, but they are not the whole story.
In a recent session for the Ambient IoT Alliance, we shared how Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) is able to support Ambient IoT use cases and what is...
