Zebra Bluetooth® Bridges
Zebra Bluetooth IoT Bridges gather critical location data for actionable business insights
Edge-data and IoT technologies are transforming today’s industrial networks. Zebra Bluetooth® Low-Energy products are inexpensive relative to other active beacon solutions while providing all the capabilities of these technologies in an easy-to-manage solution. Zebra Bluetooth IoT bridges and transceivers leverage Bluetooth® low-energy and Wi-Fi technologies and work in tandem with Zebra Bluetooth Beacons to provide near real-time location data to help companies maximize business efficiencies.
The Zebra MB5000 Fixed-Location IoT Bridge
Zebra MB5000 Fixed-Location IoT Bridges are compact, aesthetically pleasing units which are easy to configure, install and manage. Zebra’s IoT bridges capture Bluetooth® low-energy beacon signals which are then filtered and backhauled over Wi-Fi. Leveraging a pre-existing Wi-Fi network simplifies deployment and minimizes infrastructure costs.
Fully configurable to meet custom requirements, Zebra Bluetooth IoT bridges and transceivers deliver critical data for companies to analyze and convert into actionable business insights. Companies use the raw data gathered by Zebra bridges and transceivers to identify asset location, improve workflows, and optimize productivity and profitability.
Protected with the best-of-breed security protocols, Zebra IoT bridges are easy to manage securely using 2.5GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi with WPA/WPA2 personal and enterprise encryption. This allows configuration changes and network updates to be pushed remotely and en masse from a server without needing on-site support.
The Zebra MB6000 Mobile IoT Bridge
Zebra MB6000 Mobile IoT Bridges are secure and operate automatically. Users need only wear them. Mobile bridges offer the added value of wearable mobility to extend your asset visibility. Mobile bridges work with fixed-location bridges to form a comprehensive location-data solution configurable to your unique requirements.
Zebra Bluetooth Bridges deliver the data your enterprise can use to give your operations a performance edge over the competition.

The Zebra SB2000 Enhanced Indoor Beacon
The enhanced indoor beacon is a BLE bridge that can periodically listen for nearby BLE beacons and then broadcast BLE packets containing its own ID and the IDs for any nearby beacons. The enhanced indoor beacon is infrastructure installed in specific locations throughout a facility. The device self-locates nearby assets and enables improved location performance via data crowdsourcing using a minimum of fixed infrastructure which can be complimented with BLE-enabled mobile computers, printers or other bridges. The enhanced indoor beacon is compatible with the Bluetooth® low energy standard.
