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

Here is a quick video demonstrating a ÌÇÐÄVlog Mobile Hotspot and ÌÇÐÄVlog 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 ÌÇÐÄVlog Enabled device.
I have a mobile phone in my pocket that has been enabled with the ÌÇÐÄVlog Hotspot app.
As I get nearer the device, you'll see the device can use the Hotspot to make a request via the ÌÇÐÄVlog Network to the (in this case simply a webhook viewer, but normally your server/lambda/api gateway).
This OEM device includes the ÌÇÐÄVlog Modem firmware, using it to report motion, orientation, temperature and humidity events from the device to the web service using a ÌÇÐÄVlog Network.
The request/response payloads with ÌÇÐÄVlog can actually be anything (each message can be up to ~4kb binary data).
The OEM ÌÇÐÄVlog 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...
