obniz BLE Gateway series

Connect Bluetooth devices
to the cloud and mobile apps
with ease

obnizOS delivers high-grade security and a rich set of configuration features out of the box. Build freely with our open-source SDK.

Feature 01

Wireless and battery-friendly,
smartening the real world with ease

obnizOS comes with strong security and a rich set of configuration features out of the box. Build freely with our open-source SDK.

Use wireless Bluetooth to automatically connect a wide range of third-party sensors and your own products to the cloud and mobile apps. Fully managed and always up to date, obniz makes physical AI and app development simple to get started.

Feature 02

Just plug it in,
and surrounding devices connect to your service automatically

The built-in plug means it installs straight into a wall outlet. BLE (Bluetooth) devices within roughly 10 m to 100 m connect bi-directionally to your cloud service over Wi-Fi or LTE.

No electrical work or complex setup required. obnizOS includes Wi-Fi setup that anyone can complete with a PC or smartphone — no app needed — so even on-site customers can install it themselves.

Feature 03

Advanced scanning,
pairing, and broadcasting

More than just receiving data — pair and operate devices too. Connect to healthcare devices and push software updates over BLE.

Fine-grained Bluetooth control runs from the cloud, with advanced data compression and transformation available at the edge.

Available BLE features

Active Scan / Passive Scan

Discover nearby BLE devices

BLE Long Range

Coded PHY supported (BLE5 models only)

Signal filtering and conversion

obniz's Advantage

Focus on app development.
Leave the device side to us.

OS management, security, connection monitoring, incident response — all the complex device-side operations are handled by obniz, so you can launch IoT with server-side development alone.

Operated 24/7 by obniz

Fully automated device-side operations

Six areas that traditionally required in-house development and ops are delivered fully managed by obniz.

Latest OS delivery and remote updates

obnizOS pushed to every device

Vulnerability and security response

Threat detection and patch delivery

24/7 connection management

Cloud monitors connections continuously

Incident response and support

Anomaly detection with SLA-backed support

TLS encryption and device authentication

Protected with TLS 1.2 and elliptic-curve crypto

Radio law and regulatory certifications

GITEKI, FCC, and NCC obtained

Your role

Focus only
on app development

Pour your team's resources into business logic and UX. The device side is no longer your problem.

obniz Now

An all-in-one web application

Build IoT-powered services on the web with no specialist skills required. On top of managed connectivity, security, and web infrastructure, you only configure the parts that matter — and ship a service immediately.

01

Build and sell, even your first time

Even a small first IoT or intelligence project is safe to ship — with obniz Now you can build for in-house use and confidently sell what you build.

02

Extend freely, anytime

From remote monitoring, data collection, and on/off control to AI and external API integration — every change applies instantly to every device in the field.

03

Security and malware already covered

IoT security is complex and demanding. With obniz devices and obniz Now, you build on top of a managed system that handles it for you.

obniz for Developers

Build BLE apps with
our open-source SDK

Beyond obniz Now, you can also drive BLE devices directly from your own server. One piece of code reaches every gateway worldwide simultaneously — scan, connect, and write, all from JavaScript.

Works without the public internet, on closed networks too. obniz Dock supports self-hosting, so the same code runs unchanged in security-strict environments like hospitals and power plants.

ble-scan.js
const obniz = new Obniz("OBNIZ_ID", {
  access_token: "token_xxx"
});

obniz.onconnect = async () => {
  await obniz.ble.initWait();
  await obniz.ble.scan.startWait();

  obniz.ble.scan.onfind = (peripheral) => {
    console.log(peripheral.localName);
  };
}

Products

Start with a single unit. Get going today.

Choose a gateway by network type. BLE control is identical across models, so your code works the same regardless of the hardware.

Need a different power source or wired interface beyond a wall outlet?
Any obnizOS-powered device can serve as a BLE gateway — not just the plug-in form factor.
