What It Is

The technology that powers your product

We don’t just use technology — we master it. Every stack we work with is chosen for its performance, scalability, and developer experience. Then we push it further.

Why Choose BLE Integration for Your Connected Application?

01
Bluetooth & BLE

Ultra-Low Power Device Connectivity

BLE's duty-cycled radio design allows peripherals to transmit sensor data for months on a single coin cell battery. For wearables, continuous glucose monitors, and asset trackers that users expect to operate between charges for days or weeks, BLE's power envelope is the enabling technology that makes the product category viable.

02
Bluetooth & BLE

Real-Time Sensor Data Streaming

BLE notifications and indications push sensor readings — heart rate, accelerometer data, glucose levels, temperature — to mobile applications in real time without polling. GATT characteristic subscriptions deliver data within connection intervals measured in milliseconds, enabling the responsive, live data visualizations that health and fitness applications require.

03
Bluetooth & BLE

Cross-Platform iOS & Android Coverage

Core Bluetooth on iOS and Android's BluetoothLE API provide native BLE stacks that Zetaton integrates through React Native BLE libraries — delivering a single codebase that handles the platform-specific permission models, background scan behaviors, and state restoration requirements that differ significantly between iOS and Android.

04
Bluetooth & BLE

Secure Pairing & Data Encryption

BLE's Security Manager Protocol supports LE Secure Connections with ECDH key exchange, providing encrypted and authenticated connections resistant to eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks. For medical devices and industrial applications, Zetaton implements bonding, LE Privacy, and application-layer encryption to meet HIPAA and IEC 62443 security requirements.

Capabilities

Our Bluetooth & BLE Development Capabilities

01
Capability

GATT Profile Design & Firmware Collaboration

Zetaton designs GATT service and characteristic hierarchies for custom BLE peripherals, defining UUIDs, data formats, notification intervals, and read/write permissions in specifications that firmware engineers implement. We collaborate directly with hardware teams to align mobile SDK behavior with firmware capabilities, reducing integration cycles between app and device development.

02
Capability

React Native BLE Integration

We integrate react-native-ble-plx or react-native-ble-manager into React Native applications, managing the full BLE lifecycle — scanning, connecting, service discovery, characteristic reads and writes, notification subscriptions, and disconnection handling. Platform-specific behaviors for iOS state restoration and Android BLE quirks across chipset vendors are handled with tested workarounds.

03
Capability

iOS Core Bluetooth & Android BLE Native Integration

For performance-critical applications requiring direct native access, Zetaton implements Core Bluetooth managers in Swift and Android BluetoothGatt clients in Kotlin — handling background scanning with Core Bluetooth's state preservation, Android BLE bond management, and the manufacturer-specific quirks across Samsung, Pixel, and OnePlus devices that affect scan reliability and connection stability.

04
Capability

BLE Mesh & Multi-Device Coordination

Zetaton implements Bluetooth Mesh networking for smart building, industrial, and lighting applications where commands must propagate across networks of dozens to hundreds of nodes. We design provisioning flows, publish/subscribe model configurations, and friendship node relationships that balance message delivery reliability with the power and latency constraints of mesh-connected devices.

How We Build It

Our proven process

A structured approach that delivers on time, every time.

1

Device Protocol Analysis & GATT Specification Review

We review peripheral firmware documentation, existing GATT profiles, and BLE advertisement data to understand the complete communication protocol. Where firmware is in development, we contribute to GATT service design to ensure characteristic formats, notification intervals, and MTU sizes are optimized for the mobile application's data requirements.

2

Platform Architecture & Permission Strategy

iOS and Android BLE permission models, background operation entitlements, and state restoration behaviors are architecturally distinct. Zetaton designs the application's BLE manager layer to handle both platforms' requirements — iOS Core Bluetooth state preservation, Android foreground service requirements for background scanning, and the runtime permission flow users experience at first connection.

3

Connection & State Machine Implementation

BLE connections fail in ways that Wi-Fi connections do not — peripheral out of range, iOS background suspension, Android BLE stack resets. Zetaton implements explicit state machines covering disconnected, scanning, connecting, connected, and error states, with exponential backoff reconnection, user-facing signal strength feedback, and graceful degradation when devices are unavailable.

4

Data Pipeline & Storage Integration

Streaming sensor data from BLE notifications is buffered, batched, and persisted to local SQLite or Realm databases to handle periods of poor connectivity. Synchronization pipelines upload buffered readings to backend APIs — with timestamp preservation, duplicate detection, and gap filling — ensuring data integrity even when the BLE connection is intermittent.

5

Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing

BLE behavior cannot be fully validated in simulators. Zetaton conducts hardware-in-the-loop testing on physical iOS and Android devices, validating connection stability over distance, reconnection reliability after signal loss, background operation under iOS's aggressive app suspension, and battery impact profiling over representative usage sessions.

6

Production Monitoring & Firmware Update Integration

We implement BLE firmware OTA (Over-The-Air) update flows using DFU protocols compatible with Nordic Semiconductor, Silicon Labs, or custom bootloaders. Post-launch, BLE connection success rates, characteristic read/write error rates, and firmware version distribution are instrumented in analytics so product teams can identify device compatibility issues as new OS versions are released.

The Zetaton Edge

Why Choose Zetaton for Bluetooth & BLE Development?

Cross-Disciplinary Hardware-Software Experience

Zetaton's BLE team includes engineers who have worked directly with firmware developers on GATT protocol design — not just consumed existing BLE APIs. This hardware literacy means we identify specification ambiguities, negotiate characteristic format decisions, and catch protocol design issues before they require expensive firmware update cycles in deployed devices.

Platform-Specific BLE Edge Case Mastery

iOS Core Bluetooth's state restoration, background scan limitations, and centralized connection manager requirements differ fundamentally from Android's fragmented BLE stack behavior across chipset vendors. Zetaton's documented library of platform-specific workarounds for Samsung, Qualcomm, and MediaTek BLE quirks prevents the months of debugging that teams without BLE production experience inevitably encounter.

React Native & Native Mobile Dual Capability

Whether your product requires React Native's cross-platform efficiency or Swift and Kotlin native performance, Zetaton has the engineering capability for both. For applications where BLE is a secondary feature, React Native BLE libraries deliver sufficient capability; where BLE is the core product, we implement native modules with direct stack access for maximum control.

Medical Device & Compliance Engineering

For BLE integrations involving medical-grade devices, Zetaton implements the security, audit logging, and data integrity requirements of HIPAA and FDA software guidance. We have experience integrating with Bluetooth Medical Device Profile (BMDP) implementations, designing FHIR-compatible data pipelines from BLE sensor readings to healthcare backend systems.

End-to-End Connected Product Delivery

Zetaton delivers the complete connected product stack — BLE mobile integration, cloud data ingestion APIs, analytics dashboards, and firmware OTA update infrastructure — as a unified deliverable. This end-to-end ownership eliminates the integration failures that occur when mobile, backend, and hardware teams each deliver their component in isolation without a unified technical authority.
