BeaconsBeacon tags broadcast BLE location signals that can be collected by an MWC01 badge. The MWC01 badge comes in standard and relay versions. In relay mode, it acts as a Bluetooth repeater: it receives beacon data and rebroadcasts it to an MG6 gateway via BLE. The MG6 gateway aggregates these signals and uploads them over Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or 4G/LTE to the cloud. This BLE relay setup extends gateway coverage without requiring additional network hardware.Deployment Cost

FAQ
-
What is the difference between a Smart Badge and a traditional ID card?
Smart Badges integrate positioning, communication, and emergency functions—such as real-time tracking, access control, SOS alerts, and motion detection—which go far beyond basic identification. This makes them ideal for safety-critical environments or workflow optimization.
-
Which Smart Badge is best for indoor positioning?
For indoor BLE-based tracking, the MWC01 (with AoA support) or C10 is recommended. The MWC03 provides the most precise hybrid indoor-outdoor positioning using both BLE and GNSS.
-
Can I use these badges without existing infrastructure like Wi-Fi or Ethernet?
Yes. The MWC03 uses LTE for direct uplink, while LWC01 works on LoRaWAN networks—both are suitable for environments with limited or no Wi-Fi or Ethernet infrastructure.
-
Are these badges waterproof?
Yes. All models in the Smart Badge Series feature at least IP65 or IP67 protection, making them durable in dusty or humid environments.
-
How do I choose the right Smart Badge for my application?
It depends on your environment and needs:
For GPS-based outdoor tracking: MWC03.
For BLE indoor location with access control: MWC01 or MWC02.
For long-range low-power deployments: LWC01.
For basic BLE broadcasting and SOS: C10. -
Can Smart Badges be customized with our logo or design?
Yes. Models like MWC02 support custom patterns and logos, ideal for enterprise branding and visitor badge personalization.
