GageHub Local Router
User Guide
Description
Motionics GageHub Local is a BLE and WiFi router that can be used alongside Motionics
Bluetooth measurement devices to extend their wireless transmission range.
GageHub Local connects to Motionics measurement devices via Bluetooth Low Energy
and transmits data sent to the router as WiFi signals that are then sent to your iPhone or
iPad. The wireless transmission range of the device is hence extended from the typical
BLE transmission range of 30-50 feet to the WiFi transmission range of 100 ft, and can be
further extended by adding standard o-the-shelf WiFi repeaters or range extenders.
GageHub Local doesn’t change the way gages interact with the MultiGage app, just
adding an option to add a device via WiFi when pairing devices, and multiple smart
devices can now connect to the same gage and receive data simultaneously. The router
can connect to up to 40 gages, sensors, and transducers and an unlimited number of
smart devices. GageHub Local also adds one more layer of data security with a
password-protected WiFi connection.
The router is powered by a 5V microUSB connection that can connect to power outlets,
portable power banks, and other sources of continuous power.
