BlueGate Controller

BlueGate is a multi-node audio surveillance gateway that provides wireless communications from remote Bluetooth audio devices.

Typical applications include using BlueGate as the wireless microphone for a covert audio recorder, or as a tactical system providing two-way digital audio communications with a standard commercial Bluetooth headset.

High quality audio can be streamed to and from a standard commercial headset or custom bluetooth microphone. For maximum protection from detection,  Bluegate uses  Bluetooth communication protocols incorporating  128-bit encryption and operating in undiscoverable mode.

For added security, the BlueGate Manager software can only configure the BlueGate Controller via the supplied USB Bluetooth dongle.

Audio quality is ensured using a 14-bit ADC and G.711 compression codec for maximuim intelligibity. For multi-device applications, the BlueGate Controller can be set to automatically pair and stream audio to and/or from an authorised device within range. It will automatically connect and stream audio to and/or from another authorised device when the currently paired device goes out of range.

Optional BlueMic Bluetooth microphones are available with either 10m or 100m range. These feature special high-sensitivity leaded microphones for use in very small spaces or through drill-holes.
