MikroTik TG-BT5-OUT, IoT Bluetooth outdoor tag for KNOT

This version of our BLE tags comes completely sealed, cast in industrial-grade molds to give it a solid IP69k ingress protection rating. In other words, this tag is dust-tight – nothing gets in, and it is fully protected against close-range high-pressure, high-temperature spray downs. Perfect for industrial telemetry systems or to track all kinds of heavy equipment and materials at a construction site.

Supported BLE telemetry formats

• iBeacon
• Eddystone
• MikroTik

How does it work?

There is an NFC encoded MAC address and optional encryption. Unlike the indoor version, the outdoor tag comes with a built-in temperature sensor that can be used for condition monitoring. The ±0.5°C precision can be very useful in cold supply chain logistics.

TG-BT5-OUT features an improved 550 mAH battery that will last around five years (with a sending interval of 1s). It is suitable for strapping to all kinds of surfaces, and it can handle a temperature range of -20°C to 85°C.

You can use Beacon manager app to configure advertisement packet type, accelerometer parameters (power mode, triggers, data rate, etc), and update the firmware.
