# BLE Evaluation Kits – Overview

Sentrax offers **Evaluation Kits** to help businesses, developers, and decision-makers explore, test, and pilot its Real-Time Location System (RTLS) technologies. These kits — for both BLE-RSSI and BLE-AoA — bundle the necessary hardware and software to kickstart a trial deployment quickly.

## BLE RSSI Evaluation Kit

The **Sentrax [BLE RSSI Evaluation Kit](https://sentrax.com/product/ble-rssi-evaluation-kit/)** is a ready-to-deploy bundle designed to explore, test, and validate [RSSI-based indoor positioning](https://sentrax.com/solutions/proximity-track/). It includes BLE-based scanners and PINIX series tags, enabling rapid prototyping for real-time location and proximity use cases.

With pre-configured hardware and seamless integration into the **Solix RTLS platform**, the kit allows developers and integrators to assess RSSI accuracy, coverage, signal behavior, and system performance across different indoor environments. Its plug-and-play workflow helps organizations quickly understand how BLE RSSI performs for asset tracking, zone-based monitoring, and presence detection.

This kit is ideal for teams evaluating BLE-based RTLS, conducting POCs, and learning how RSSI can support location-aware applications at scale.

## BLE AoA Evaluation Kit

The **Sentrax [BLE AoA Evaluation Kit](https://sentrax.com/product/ble-aoa-eval-kit/)** provides everything required to test and validate [**Angle of Arrival (AoA)** positioning](https://sentrax.com/product/ble-aoa-eval-kit/) for high-precision RTLS deployments. It includes Sentrax’s AoA locators, compatible PINIX tags, and access to Solix for real-time visualization and analytics.

Engineers and solution architects can use the kit to measure direction-based positioning performance, evaluate locator placement, test tracking accuracy down to sub-meter levels, and understand how AoA behaves in dynamic indoor environments. The system supports quick configuration, making it easy to prototype asset tracking, personnel tracking, navigation, and location-intelligent automation.

This kit is built for organizations exploring advanced BLE AoA capabilities and wanting to benchmark precision RTLS before full-scale deployment.

## What’s Included & How It Works

- Both kits include BLE beacons/tags, locators/scanners/gateways, mounting accessories (like power adapters, PoE or cables, screws), and a user guide for installation and configuration. 
- After setup, kits can be integrated with the central RTLS platform (Solix), enabling real-time dashboards, tracking, analytics, and device management. 
- Their modular design allows for scalability — from small pilot demos to larger, site-wide RTLS deployments — by extending with further hardware from Sentrax’s locators, tags, and beacons.
