The following OneVue Sync Bluetooth deployment examples provide a visual illustration of various deployments. Different facility layouts and interiors may present a variety of considerations to ensure system coverage.
These examples are to be referenced as general guidelines and it's recommended that a Sync Bluetooth Site Survey is completed. The results of the survey provide a deployment guide for the installation of Sync Bluetooth devices at your facility.
Deployment guidelines
Install Bridges off a corridor and ideally in a central location.
Always install and power-on each Bridge before installing clocks and repeaters.
Start by installing clocks that are located closest to a Bridge and then work outward. A clock should always be first powered on at its designated installation location.
If a clock fails to set its time, measure the Bluetooth signal strength at an installation location. This determines if the location has adequate Bluetooth signal strength, resulting in no coverage gap.

Deployment guidelines
Install Bridges in an outward third of physical space to ensure coverage.
Do not install multiple Bridges in close proximity to each other.
Start by installing clocks that are located closest to a Bridge and then work outward. A clock should always be first powered on at its designated installation location.
If a clock fails to set its time, measure the Bluetooth signal strength at an installation location. This determines if the location has adequate Bluetooth signal strength, resulting in no coverage gap.

Deployment guidelines
Avoid installing Bridges in a vertical column above each other - stagger Bridge installation locations across multiple floors.
If a clock fails to set its time, measure the Bluetooth signal strength at an installation location. This determines if the location has adequate Bluetooth signal strength, resulting in no coverage gap.
Ideal deployment illustration
If your deployment has resulted in a known coverage gap (devices cannot connect to mesh network), it's recommended to either install a Bridge, repeater, or clock to resolve the coverage gap or if possible to relocate the device experiencing a connection issue.
