Beacon Plus / Lite

BEEKs™ Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) beacons are among the most advanced beacons in the industry. Being fully Apple iBeacon and Google Eddystone compatible, BEEKs beacons may be used for any standard beacon application that provides location based promotional or way-finding services to smartphone users.

KEY BENEFITS:

• Flexible – Simultaneously supports iBeacon, Eddystone and sBeacon protocol for optimal application compatibility*

• Multi-Purpose – Used as promotional beacons, for way-finding or asset location**

• Rapid Implementation – Easy to apply anywhere with multi-year battery life.

T E C H N O LO G Y H I G H L I G H T S :

• Bluetooth low energy beacons

• iBeacon (Apple), Eddystone (Google) and sBeacon (HID) supported simultaneously

• Location precision down to 6 ft (2 m)

• Central management possible

• Fast and easy roll-out, equipment agnostic

• Optionally support Location Services through Aruba BLE enabled access points.

When combined with HID Global’s end-to-end IoT Services ecosystem, that includes BluFi™ BLE to WiFi gateways and the Bluzone™ cloud services, BEEKs can be centrally managed through the cloud and BluFi devices to transfer new messages, firmware updates and battery status checks remotely. Their unique design allows BEEKs to broadcast reliably even in densely populated WiFi environments. BEEKs asset beacons are intended for real time location (RTLS) of assets via Bluzone Cloud or retail- / way-finding applications. Software development kits (SDK) for iPhone or Android allow building Smartphone APPs that react on beacon presence e.g. to show location or route on a map. HID Global Location Services is an efficient real-time asset location (RTLS) platform leveraging BEEKs beacons to effectively pin down the locations of assets inside a warehouse, campus or manufacturing hall. Beacon location is determined by Bluzone through HID BluFi devices and/or Aruba BLE enabled access points. BEEKs beacons are available in multiple form factors and sensor configurations for different applications like in form of badges for Workplace optimization or with sensors for condition monitoring of motorized equipment. Their extensible architecture allows organizations to scale deployment of standard beacon applications and extend to centralized management, real-time condition monitoring or location services in a later phase.
