Bluetooth Low Energy
Forte+ BLE
Thanks to its case IP67 Forte+ BLE is suitable for outdoor and industrial applications.
Forte+ BLE can be used as both a mobile tag and a fixed beacon.
-Equipped with 3-axis accelerometer for motion detection
-Based on Nordic nRF52832
-Simultaneous support of iBeacon and Eddystone
Forte+ BLE is powered by replaceable CR123A lithium battery.
The batteries are easily replaceable.
-Available with flanges for flexible fastening options or without flanges
-Rugged IP67 enclosure
iBeacon technology creates a small area of detection for Bluetooth 4.0 enabled mobile devices. Bluetooth LE devices use iBeacon licensed technology, and have been certified by BlueUp to meet Apple Proximity Beacon Specifications.
Eddystone is a protocol specification that defines Bluetooth LE formats for proximity beacon advertising, with different frame types that may be used individually or in combinations. The BlueUp beacons have been certified by Google in accordance with the requirements of the Eddystone specifications.
8 slots configurable for non-connectable advertising frames:
– 4 slots, each configurable for Eddystone frame types: UID, URL, TLM or EID. Full support for specifications Eddystone Configuration GATT Service by Google
– 4 slots, each configurable for the following frame types: iBeacon, Quuppa (Direction Finding packet)
Advertising interval (independently configurable for each slot): 0.1 to 60 secs
TX power (independently configurable for each slot): -40 dBm, -20dBm to 4 dBm (with 4dB steps)
Additional configuration options: non-connectable mode, anonymous mode, programmable time period, orientation/motion-detection mode, locked/unlocked mode, change password
Support for Safety packet: beacon ID, battery status, accelerometer events (motion/shock/free-fall)
Configurable with BlueBeacon Manager App for Android and iOS
