MikroTik Outdoor Bluetooth Tag

The MikroTik Outdoor Bluetooth Tag, cataloged under the manufacture part number TG-BT5-OUT, is a robust and technologically advanced device designed to meet the rigorous demands of outdoor asset tracking and condition monitoring. Utilizing Bluetooth 5.2 technology, this tag offers exceptional connectivity and energy efficiency, ideal for extensive industrial and commercial applications. This version of the BLE tag comes completely sealed, cast in industrial-grade molds to give it a solid IP69k ingress protection rating. Which denotes the highest protection against ingress from dust and high-temperature water jets, making it suitable for the most challenging outdoor environments. It also supports condition monitoring and logging, offering vital data that can help in predictive maintenance and operational efficiency.

For connectivity, the TG-BT5-OUT supports multiple Bluetooth packet formats like the indoor version, this tag also supports iBeacon, Eddystone, and MikroTik telemetry formats. There is an NFC encoded MAC address and optional encryption. Unlike the indoor version, the outdoor tag comes with a built-in temperature sensor that can be used for condition monitoring. The ±0.5 °C precision can be very useful in cold supply chain logistics.

This device is equipped with a 1.5 dBi omnidirectional antenna that provides a 360° beam width, ensuring broad and consistent coverage. The inclusion of advanced sensors such as an accelerometer and a temperature sensor enhances its functionality, allowing for precise movement tracking and environmental monitoring.

The TG-BT5-OUT is powered by a 550 mAh battery, promising an impressive estimated battery life ranging from 5 to 15 years depending on the update interval settings (1s/5s), which minimizes maintenance needs and ensures long-term reliability. It is suitable for strapping to all kinds of surfaces, and it can handle a temperature range of -20 °C to 85 °C.
