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 SB5200 Fixed-Location IoT Bridge
Zebra’s SB5200 is an enhanced, higher performance IoT bridge in the same physical package as the MB5000. This device more efficiently receives and processes BLE beacons. It has expanded memory and operates over an expanded temperature range. The SB5200 will process more BLE beacons faster and is ideal for capturing BLE beacons in evironments where there are large numbers of beacons.
The Zebra MB5000 Fixed-Location IoT Bridge
Zebra MB5000 Fixed-Location IoT Bridges are easy to configure, install and manage, and can be deployed on pre-existing Wi-Fi networks. They capture Bluetooth low-energy beacon signals then filter and backhaul over Wi-Fi.
Fully configurable to meet custom requirements, Zebra Bluetooth IoT bridges and transceivers deliver critical data 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.
Zebra Bluetooth Bridges deliver the data your enterprise can use to give your operations a performance edge over the competition.

The Zebra MB6000 Mobile IoT Bridge
Zebra MB6000 Mobile IoT Bridges work with fixed-location bridges to form a comprehensive location-data solution configurable to your unique requirements. They are secure, run automatically and extend your asset visibility.
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.
