TIDC-BLE-TO-WIFI-IOT-GATEWAY: The solution for BLE/WIFI bridge.

Part Number: TIDC-BLE-TO-WIFI-IOT-GATEWAY
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2650, CC3200

Hi,

My customer need a solution for BLE/WIFI bridge.

The BLE/WIFI bridge is used to get the charging status/battery data from the BLE battery charger stand and sending out the information by WIFI.

The following is simply introduced the relationship:

  WIFI router <--WIFI--> BLE/WIFI bridge <--BT--> BLE battery charger stand <--> Battery

We found the Reference Design shall can meet my customer's request:

TIDC-BLE-TO-WIFI-IOT-GATEWAY : Bluetooth Smart to Wi-Fi IoT Gateway Reference Design
(http://www.ti.com/tool/TIDC-BLE-TO-WIFI-IOT-GATEWAY

Please help to answer the following questions:

1. Does any other reference design than TIDC-BLE-TO-WIFI-IOT-GATEWAY?

2. If our customer use the reference design: TIDC-BLE-TO-WIFI-IOT-GATEWAY,

    how much the Max connection number of CC2650 (GAP Role:Central)?

3. Can the TIDC-BLE-TO-WIFI-IOT-GATEWAY change the content of MQTT packet before sending out the MQTT packet ?

4. the max Rx/Tx distance of the TIDC-BLE-TO-WIFI-IOT-GATEWAY (CC2650/CC3200)?

  • 1. Not as far as I know.

    2. Depends on the available RAM, up to 8 should be possible

    3. You will have to refer to CC3200 documentation for that.

    4. CC2650 BLE can support up to a couple of hundred meters but robustness up to 50m should be possible.
