About the GATE BLU-LINK Module

The GATE BLU-LINK Module is an innovative Bluetooth® adapter that brings wireless functionality to your GATE Electronic Trigger Units (ETUs), such as ASTER and TITAN. By enabling seamless connection between your GATE devices and the GCS (GATE Control Station) app, the BLU-LINK Module eliminates the need for cables, allowing you to configure, update, and monitor your system with ease. Whether you're using an iOS or Android device, you can quickly access settings, make adjustments, and even switch between firing and data transfer modes—all from the convenience of your mobile device.

One of the standout features of the BLU-LINK Module is its smart fuse protection. This configurable fuse provides multiple layers of safety by guarding against issues such as short circuits, under voltage, overcurrent, and overheating. This ensures that your battery and ETU are well-protected, reducing the risk of system damage during operation. Additionally, the module features a multifunctional wattmeter, allowing you to monitor telemetry data such as power consumption, voltage, and current in real-time, offering valuable insights into your equipment's performance during skirmishes.

Designed for efficiency and mobility, the GATE BLU-LINK Module boasts military-grade conformal coating (MIL-V-173C) for added durability and is engineered to consume minimal power, ensuring it won’t drain your battery. Unlike traditional USB connections, this module can stay plugged between the ETU and the battery throughout an entire game, meaning you no longer need to disconnect your battery to check statistics or change settings. With upcoming support for Windows and macOS, the GATE BLU-LINK Module is a powerful tool for enhancing your airsoft experience, making real-time adjustments and system optimization more accessible than ever.
