GATT-IP - Bluetooth LE Proxy

GATT-IP is the reference application using the Open Source Bluetooth Proxy Protocol. GATT-IP protocol helps transfer data from Bluetooth Smart devices to the cloud or remote systems. Bluetooth LE devices are designed to work with local connection. With the new release of the GATT-IP protocol, this enables connecting Bluetooth LE devices to remote devices via the IP network.

The core essence of Bluetooth LE is Generic Attribute Profile (GATT), which is built on top of the Attribute Protocol (ATT) and establishes common operations and a framework for the data transported and stored by the Attribute Protocol. GATT defines two roles: Server and Client. With the release of GATT-IP, the two roles are now extended from local near range access to remote access from anywhere. The protocol is simple with the ability to control any Bluetooth LE /Smart device remotely from any Internet connected browser. GATT-IP is based on JSON-RPC to allow accessing remote Bluetooth devices via a series of procedure calls to control the devices just like you would when connected locally.

GATT-IP bridges the gap between smaller embedded devices to network connected systems, including data collection systems to collect and monitor. This helps Internet Of Things platforms to stay connected to Bluetooth LE devices with simple extensions.
