Blu-Link allows for wireless management of your GATE ETU via GCS app for iOS, Android and later this year, also Windows / macOS. You can use iPhone, Android smartphone or a computer to control ASTER or TITAN and connect them with other compatible GATE devices, such as STATUS Gun-mounted Computer. Blu-Link perfectly expands GATE ETUs possibilities by equipping them with Bluetooth® 5.0 technology.
It also acts as an additional fuse and multifunctional wattmeter allowing for, e.g., reading telemetry data, which enables you to constantly monitor the AEG condition.
If your AEG already has a factory mounted ASTER or TITAN, adding Blu-link is that final little step taking you to the era of guns controlled wirelessly |
Key features
- Bluetooth® adapter – adds Bluetooth® function to TITAN and ASTER
- Wireless connection between GATE ETU and compatible GATE devices – enables connecting ASTER or TITAN with other elements of GATE ecosystem (e.g., future GATE STATUS)
- Compatibility with GCS app for iOS, Android and later this year, also Windows/macOS
- Option to switch between data transfer and firing mode from the app level
- Additional configurable smart fuse (UVP, SCP, OCP, OTP) – protects the battery in case of short circuiting wires between Blu-Link and TITAN or ASTER or other system failure. It provides under voltage, over current and over temperature protection
- Multifunctional wattmeter allowing for, e.g., reading telemetry data
- Conformal coating (Military Specification MIL-V-173C)
Advantages
- Designed to consume very little power
- Full mobility – no cables needed to connect with the GCS app and forthcoming STATUS
- In the data transfer mode, it allows for programming, changing settings and updating TITAN and ASTER firmware via GCS app
- Can be plugged between the ETU and the battery through entire skirmish – no need to detach the battery for configuration or checking the Statistics (contrary to the USB-Link)
If you want to connect with GATE Control Station via USB, use GATE USB-Link.
