Hybrid BLE communications

Record continuously.
Collect completely.

StiknTrak combines ultra-low-power BLE advertising with authenticated GATT collection. Sensors announce their presence, gateways retrieve the complete stored history, and the cloud confirms receipt before data is cleared.

BLE is the transport.
Reliability is the architecture.

The innovation is not GATT alone. It is the disciplined sequence that lets a sensor sleep for long periods, advertise with very little energy and still deliver a complete, auditable history when a trusted gateway arrives.

The sensor keeps recording and retains its full history for the next connection.

The authenticated session can safely close, then clear or archive the local history.

01 / SENSOR

Record

Capture local sensing history continuously, even when no network or gateway is nearby.

02 / ADVERTISING

Communicate

Broadcast identity and presence using brief, ultra-low-power BLE advertisements.

03 / GATEWAY

Collect

Open an authenticated GATT session and retrieve the complete stored history.

04 / CLOUD

Orchestrate

Validate receipt, prevent duplicates and authorise a secure close only when collection succeeds.

Session lifecycle

Discover. Authenticate. Confirm. Close.

1 · AdvertiseSensor announces presence.
2 · DiscoverGateway identifies the device.
3 · AuthenticateA trusted session is established.
4 · CollectStored history is transferred.
5 · ConfirmCloud validates successful receipt.
6 · CloseSensor safely clears or archives.
Intermediate collection

Keep recording

  • Download and upload available records
  • Sensor retains its history
  • Journey continues without interruption
Final close

Clear only after confirmation

  • Retrieve the complete history
  • Confirm successful cloud receipt
  • Authorise clearing through an authenticated session
Gateway flexibility

Use the connection that fits the moment.

The same sensor can be collected by a phone, a fixed receiving point or an in-transit gateway. Backhaul can use Wi-Fi, Ethernet, cellular, satellite or future transports without redesigning the sensor.

Mobile phone

Turn a standard phone into a receiving gateway.

  • Single-device access by QR or NFC
  • Bulk collection over BLE
  • Web-based workflow with no app-store download

Fixed gateway

Automate collection at depots, cool rooms and receiving docks.

  • One gateway serves many sensors
  • Fast hands-free receiving
  • Ideal for arrival-based monitoring

In-transit gateway

Add live visibility where the journey demands it.

  • Collect while assets are moving
  • Choose cellular or satellite backhaul
  • Preserve the same end-to-end audit trail
Data integrity by design

Complete evidence, not fragments.

Each device maintains its own history. Sequence control, checksums, resumable transfer and duplicate prevention protect the chain of custody from sensor to cloud.

Unique identityEvery sensing device is individually addressable and traceable.
Authenticated accessCollection and final close occur only inside trusted sessions.
Resumable transferInterrupted sessions can continue without losing recorded data.
Cloud confirmationHistory is retained until successful receipt is confirmed.
Duplicate preventionRepeated collection does not corrupt the operational record.
Audit trailCollection events remain visible for compliance and review.
From carton to cloud

More sensing points. Less infrastructure. Better decisions.

Hybrid BLE enables per-carton cold-chain sensing, pharmaceutical monitoring and scalable asset visibility without requiring a SIM, subscription or dedicated gateway for every device.
