A Powered BLE Beacon is a small electronic device that uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology to transmit a real-time asset location data. Typically, in the form of a unique identifier, to nearby devices such as smartphones, tablets, or other Bluetooth-enabled hardware.
Unlike standard BLE beacons, which are typically battery-powered, a powered BLE beacon is connected to a continuous power source with 4-pin Molex connector adapter allowing it to operate without the need for battery replacements or recharging.
Role of the 4-Pin Molex Connector
The 4-pin Molex connector in a powered BLE beacon used to provide external DC power (e.g., 5V/12V) for continuous operation, eliminating battery reliance.
It typically includes two pins for power and two for signals (e.g., data or control), ensuring reliable, high-power Bluetooth signal transmission and integration with IoT systems for applications like indoor positioning or asset tracking.
Advantages of Powered BLE Beacon
1) Real-Time Location Tracking
Powered BLE beacons with 4-pin Molex Adapter enable exact, continuous real-time location tracking for assets or personnel, supporting applications like indoor navigation and logistics with consistent power for uninterrupted signal broadcasting.
2) Industrial-Grade Durability
Designed for harsh environments, powered BLE beacons with robust 4-pin Molex connectors resist vibrations and weather, ensuring reliable performance in factories, warehouses, or outdoor settings without battery failures.
3)Enhanced Operational Efficiency
By eliminating battery replacements, powered BLE beacons reduce time and maintenance costs, ensuring continuous operation for IoT systems, improve productivity in smart buildings or industrial automation.
4) Scalable and Flexible Deployment
Powered BLE beacons support easy integration into existing power infrastructure via 4-pin Molex connectors, allowing scalable, customizable setups for large-scale IoT networks or dynamic location-based services.
5) Eco-Friendly and Cost-Effective
Using external power, these beacons minimize battery waste and lower long-term costs, offering sustainable, budget-friendly solutions for continuous operation in retail, healthcare, or smart city applications.
Typical Application
Ideal for warehouses, factories, hospitals, retail, and construction sites.
Tracks live location of high-value assets like forklifts, CNC machines, tool, or medical equipment.
Improve safety of worker, patient, people by monitoring restricted or hazardous zones.
