# Tag X3 BLE Sensor Tag & Beacon Datasheet

## Product Overview

**Tag X3** is a compact and rugged **Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) sensor tag and beacon** designed for **asset tracking, indoor location services, and condition monitoring** across industrial and commercial environments. Supporting both **iBeacon** and **Eddystone** protocols, Tag X3 enables seamless identification, proximity detection, and location tracking using BLE gateways, mobile devices, and edge receivers.

In addition to beaconing, Tag X3 integrates multiple onboard sensors including an **IMU (motion and orientation sensing)**, **temperature**, **humidity**, and **barometric pressure**, allowing it to capture real-time movement and environmental conditions directly from the asset. This makes it ideal for monitoring **asset usage, movement patterns, handling events, and storage conditions**.

Engineered for **ultra-low power operation**, Tag X3 supports configurable advertising intervals, transmit power levels, and event-based triggers to maximize battery life while maintaining reliable visibility. The device can operate continuously for long durations in both **broadcast-only** and **sensor-enabled** modes.

Tag X3 works seamlessly with **BLE-to-Wi-Fi gateways, smartphones, tablets, and industrial edge devices**, enabling data forwarding to **on-premise systems or cloud platforms** for analytics, alerts, and automation. Its small form factor and rugged enclosure make it suitable for **tools, containers, equipment, pallets, and movable assets** in warehouses, factories, campuses, and smart buildings.
