Introduction

BLE for IoT

Blecon enables building devices that communicate with a web service using Bluetooth Low Energy.

Blecon Devices may be custom-built or off-the-shelf OEM products and are quick to integrate into any web service or application using standard web development tools and techniques.

Blecon Hotspots provide flexible roaming coverage for devices without the need for pairing. iOS and Android smartphones can be enabled as Hotspots by installing the Blecon App, as can Windows and MacOS laptops. Hardware hotspots enable dedicated connectivity.

Blecon Networks are an infrastructure service that routes device requests to web handlers as HTTP POST webhooks. Device requests can be serviced whenever they are in range of a Hotspot.

Blecon Devices use secure identities and encrypted communication by default and are associated with a specific Blecon Network using a simple installer flow based on NFC or QR codes.

A Blecon Network is configured via the Blecon Console or programmatically via the Blecon API. The API can be used to build full custom device installation and operational workflows.
