AP with IOT

Based on DeppSeek, I got some info

Ruijie AP Models with IoT Support

1. Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) IoT APs

Model	IoT Protocols	Key Features
RG-AP860-I	BLE 5.0, Zigbee	Dual-band Wi-Fi 6, USB for IoT expansion
RG-AP840-I	BLE 5.0	Wi-Fi 6, high-density IoT support
RG-AP820-L(V2)	BLE 5.0, RFID	Outdoor Wi-Fi 6, IP67-rated, IoT gateway

2. Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) IoT APs

Model	IoT Protocols	Key Features
RG-AP780-I	BLE 4.2, RFID	Dual-band Wi-Fi 5, IoT-ready
RG-AP730-I	BLE 4.2	Cost-effective IoT AP

3. Specialized IoT APs

Model	IoT Protocols	Key Features
RG-AP880-I	BLE 5.1, Zigbee	High-performance Wi-Fi 6 + IoT
RG-AP876-I	BLE 5.0, LoRa	Long-range IoT (LoRa for sensors)

QUESTIONS:
1. RG-AP820-L(V2)        BLE 5.0, RFID        Outdoor Wi-Fi 6, IP67-rated, IoT gateway
is only that model support as IOT BLE gateway?
do I need to have AP only or I need wireless controller WS model as well
if I have wireless controller WS model. I can control my BLE Lamp from cloud?

2. RG-AP876-I        BLE 5.0, LoRa        Long-range IoT (LoRa for sensors)
what lora in AP function
do you mean if I have 1 lora /receiver in farm, I don't need to have another lora server in my home
just set my AP as lora server
3. any cookbook for question 1&2
tq

Dear customer,
It is recommended to refer to the datasheet on our website(www.ruijie.com) to determine if a model supports BLE. For products/solutions price & buying requests, you can send us an email to service_rj@ruijienetworks.com and tell us the region you are in. We can get you in touch with our regional pre-sale.



If you manage the AP in FAT mode or Cloud mode, you do not need a wireless controller. If it is in Cloud managed mode, you can access its eweb or CLI via Ruijie Cloud and configure anything related to iBeacon.
For BLE configuration, you can refer to the following part in the guide below.
