BluFi devices make it easy and cost efficient to cover an area with BLE to internet connectivity to take advantage of centralized
management, realtime condition monitoring, or location services with a fraction of the effort required by alternative technologies.

BEEKs™ Bluetooth Low Energy Beacons.
Best practices
• Maximum of 15 – 20 beacons per BluFi for best results
• Maximum 20 – 30 meters from beacon to BluFi for best
results (distance will decrease for increased interference/
blockages). For RTLS applications, the BEEKS Duress
Badge signal must be received by at least three BluFis in
the vicinity.
Network troubleshooting
• 2.4 - 5 GHz WiFi & Ethernet
• HTTPS port 443 must be open
• DHCP required
• 1 Mbps upload speed required
• Captive WiFi portals not compatible
• Compatible certificate formats: .pem, .der
• Some networks may require adding the BluFi MAC
address to an allow list
