How to send BLE scan data to Our RTLS Platform

[Bala TW]

Hi, 

We https://trackerwave.com/ RTLS company, provide indoor navigation, asset tracking and other solutions using BLE tags. Our RTLS platform is integrated with  Meraki and other APs to get BLE ibeacon data.

Now one of our customer using cisco catalyst 9100 series APs. As it supports BLE IoT services. We want to know how to configure Cisco APs/controller(act as BLE gateway) send BLE ibeacon data to our server.

Our RTLS platform server support MQTT and HTTP APIs to receive data.

Please help us with steps to configure Cisco catalyst APs/controller(act as BLE gateway) send BLE ibeacon data to our server.

Thanks.

The client needs to contact their relevant Cisco AM/SE/PSS and ask about DNA Centre (appliance) and Cisco (DNA) Spaces.

Hi,

Thanks for reply. We will ask our client to contact  AM/SE/PSS.

To prepare our server adapter in our end to handle data from cisco catalyst AP, could you share integration steps/document.

 Especially we want to know what protocol used by cisco catalyst to send data, like. HTTP or MQTT?

 Is location data encrypted or json format? 

Thanks.

HI Bala,

Did you find more hints about how to foward BLE/Wi-Fi RSSI throught HTTP or MQTT to your RTLS engine platform ?

We might have a similar use case in hands ! Would you be open to discuss about your solution / project ? We also need to gather the same BLE data from Cisco infrastructure for RTLS purpose.
