BLE Functionality
The method of communication between the CelloTrack 10y and MultiSense devices is
BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) 2.4 GHz short range low energy wireless communication.
This method of communication is intended to provide considerably reduced power
consumption, footprint and cost, with these three parameters the most important
values within the IoT world.

NOTE:
BT SIG certification is currently in the product evolution process.

Using BLE, the CelloTrack 10y can communicate with up to 16 MultiSense devices in a
Master and Slave type setup. However, in order to function correctly as a WSN, the
10y unit and MultiSense devices must be paired, as described on page 21.
Using 10y and paired MultiSense devices as a local WSN enables you to leverage an
environment, within which you can sense where different measurements are expected
such as inside cooled cargo boxes, or in a long trailer where the environmental
conditions inside the trailer may be different from those closer to the door.
Another form of communication between the 10y and MultiSense devices is via
transparent (guest) mode. In this mode, no pairing process is required and thus the
CelloTrack 10y does not manage or save MultiSense device data or thresholds. As a
result, in transparent mode the CelloTrack 10y can be used as a gateway to unlimited
MultiSense devices.
In situations where only MultiSense MAC addresses are required, Tag mode (similar to
iBeacon mode) can be activated.
For further information about the configurable BLE parameters, refer to the
Programming Manual.

MultiSense and MultiSense-TH
The MultiSense is a remote peripheral sensor, communicating and configured by the
CelloTrack 10y via a short-range RF link.
