Libelium Meshlium

Meshlium is a powerful IoT gateway that connects your sensors and IoT devices to the Internet via 3G/4G/GPRS/GSM. The Meshlium gateway can communicate with your sensors using 802.15.4/Zigbee/868/900 networks, with the option to store data locally in a database, an external database or a third party cloud platform. The gateway features a powerful web-based management system that enables you to configure every aspect of the device from an easy-to-use web interface.

The web manager allows you to configure devices, RF networks, database settings and cloud connectors. Meshlium is desired for deployment in outdoor environments, featuring an IP67 enclosure – the gateway can also include a GPS module for positioning, with a range of flexible power options including mains, battery and solar.

RF/Radio/Network Support

The Meshlium models support a wide range of communication and network protocols.

Many more…

Smart Phone Detection

The Meshlium Scanner version features powerful Bluetooth and WIFI scanning capabilities. This feature set allows the operator to accurately detect smart phones and mobile devices, the resultant data sets can form the foundation for innovative applications for retail, tourism, hospitality and transportation.

When combined with its GPS and 4G capabilities, this data can be securely stored in remote-database or IoT cloud platforms through the use of native cloud and database connectors.

Meshlium deployment examples

Monitor Shopping and Street Activity

The MAC address of the wireless interface, which identifies unique devices.

The strength of the wireless signal (RSSI), which gives an indication of the distance from the scanner. Changes in this value determine the speed.

The vendor of the smartphone (Apple, Samsung, etc)

The AP where the user is connected (if any) and the Bluetooth friendly name. Users not connected to a particular AP are displayed as ‘free’ users.

For Bluetooth, the Class of Device (CoD) which identifies the type of Bluetooth device (smartphone, handsfree, computer, LAN/network AP). This allows differentiating between people and vehicles.
Vehicle Traffic Monitoring

Monitor in real time the number of vehicles passing for a certain point in highways and roads.

Detect the average time of vehicle stance or dwell time for traffic congestion prevention.

Monitor the average speed of vehicles on highways and roads.

Provide travel times on alternate routes when congestion is detected.

Provide an indication of passenger concurrency in travelling vehicles against other data sources.
