PINIX TEF-1
Outdoor Anchor BLE Beacon Tag with Temperature Sensors
What is PINIX TEF-1
The PINIX TEF-1 is an Outdoor Anchor BLE 5.x Beacon Tag engineered for precise positioning, navigation, and temperature monitoring in both indoor and outdoor environments. It integrates a 3-axis motion sensor, internal temperature sensor, a single red LED, and an IP65-rated rugged ABS enclosure, offering a durable and reliable solution for mixed indoor-outdoor location-based applications. Its high-capacity 7200mAh replaceable lithium battery provides exceptional 9–10 years of low-maintenance operation, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding environments.
Its core capabilities include indoor and outdoor navigation, indoor and outdoor positioning, location-based messaging and alerts, and location-based marketing.
Key Features & Benefits
Protection
IP65-rated ABS enclosure, resistant to dust and low-pressure water jets.
Battery Life
High-capacity 7200mAh replaceable lithium battery providing 9–10 years of operation depending on advertisement rate.
Temperature Monitoring
Built-in sensor for monitoring environmental conditions.
User Interaction
Single red LED for status notifications.
How It Works?
The PINIX TEF-1 continuously broadcasts BLE 5.x signals containing identification, motion, and temperature data. Once deployed on walls, poles, or other anchor points, nearby BLE AoA gateways capture these signals and transmit them through Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or cellular backhaul to the RTLS platform. Advanced AoA algorithms then process the data, combining location, motion, and temperature readings for actionable insights.
