4G LTE Cat-1 Cloud Access Controller with Bluetooth & QR: overview
The BL-130 is a door controller for sites with no local network. A 4G LTE Cat-1 modem links it to a cloud platform, so users can be added or removed remotely, while people at the door open it with a QR code, a phone over Bluetooth 5.0 or a card. It fits remote gates, rental units, construction offices and unstaffed shops where running an Ethernet cable to the door is not practical.
At the door it accepts both legacy 125 kHz EM ID cards and 13.56 MHz ISO/IEC 14443A credentials such as MIFARE Classic, MIFARE DESFire and CPU smart cards. The 120 × 80 × 22.67 mm housing is IP55 rated, handles –20 to +60 °C and has 4 kV contact / 8 kV air ESD protection. A tamper alarm is built in and sounds from the unit itself.
Integration notes
Supply 9–15 V DC; the unit draws about 80 mA at standby and up to 200 mA in operation. The harness provides relay contacts for standard magnetic or electric bolt locks, a second normally-open output (NO2), and exit-button (SW1), door-contact (MAG) and fire-alarm (FSW) inputs. Wiegand communication is also listed for linking to other access equipment.
This is a 4G variant, and the LTE band set depends on the cellular module fitted. Confirm LTE band compatibility with your country and carrier before ordering, and confirm which cloud platform and phone app will be used in your region; we check both before quoting a project.

BL-130 FAQ
Will the 4G modem work in my country?
LTE band support depends on the cellular module fitted and is not part of the base specification. Tell us your country and carrier, and we confirm band compatibility before you order.
Does it need a local network or Wi-Fi?
No. User management runs over the 4G Cat-1 link to the cloud platform, and phones talk to the unit locally over Bluetooth 5.0.
Which cards does it accept?
Both 125 kHz EM ID cards or fobs and 13.56 MHz ISO/IEC 14443A cards: MIFARE Classic, MIFARE DESFire and CPU smart cards.
Can it drive a magnetic lock directly?
Yes. The relay contacts switch standard magnetic locks and electric bolt locks. Power the lock from a separate supply rated for its current.
Is it suitable for outdoor gates?
It is IP55 and works from –20 to +60 °C, so it can be mounted at sheltered gates and entrances. Add a hood where it faces direct rain.
