Echolo G1 · Indoor Long-Range BLE Hub

The indoor workhorse. BLE 5 + WiFi AP in a single box.

Long-range BLE 5 coverage for indoor environments, with a built-in WiFi access point that can hop onto existing site infrastructure or run as a standalone AP. Ships ready to talk to Fleet and the on-prem appliance alike.

What it does

Features.

  • BLE 5 long-range for indoor coverage that doesn't need repeaters every 30 metres

  • WiFi AP doubles as site connectivity for the hub itself and anything else you want on the LAN

  • Bi-directional BLE so you can push config/updates back to the end devices

  • 1-second scan interval, so a tag's last-seen time is current to the second

  • LED ring with software-controlled states (useful for on-site debug)

  • Mounts flat against a wall or ceiling — anti-theft and aesthetically quiet

Echolo G1 deployed

Why we ship it

The G1 is the hub we reach for first on indoor deployments where reliability beats novelty. BLE 5 gives us enough range that a single G1 usually covers a full warehouse bay without additional gear, and the built-in WiFi AP solves a problem that’s otherwise annoying — getting the hub onto the network when IT won’t pull a new Ethernet drop.

Because the nRF52832 supports bi-directional BLE, the G1 can push configuration and firmware updates back to the end devices it sees. That means the tags you deploy in the field aren’t one-way beacons — you can calibrate, reprovision, or retire them without touching the hardware physically.

In production

Indoor warehouse deployments sit behind a G1 per zone, with ceiling mounts and PoE backhaul. At that density, the 300 m BLE range gives enough overlap that a single hub failing doesn’t leave a dead spot. Fleet’s hub-health view surfaces any G1 that stops reporting within about two minutes.

Pairs well with

  • Fleet for live visibility and alerts
  • Echolo On-Premise Private when the site has a no-outbound-traffic rule
  • OLR outdoor hubs to cover the yard adjacent to the indoor footprint
