Board/S BLE
Board/S BLE is a general-purpose Bluetooth Low Energy proximity-beacon board. With second-generation firmware version, it simultaneously supports multiple technologies: iBeacon, Eddystone (full support, with GATT and EID), Quuppa (emulation mode).
Board/S BLE is designed for industrial and automation applications and is provided as a single board suited for integration in electronic and electric systems.
It available in two alternative antenna options:
- with integrated PCB antenna (default);
- with UFL connector for external antenna.
Two antenna options
Can be provided with either integrated antenna or UFL connector for external antenna
Supply voltage
Wide supply-voltage range, compatible with automation and industrial applications
Integration
Designed for fast integration in existing electronic systems, to enable Bluetooth LE functionalities
Fully configurable
Beacon can be configured, with a secure AES-128 ECB encrypted-password access
Advertising
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 5 secs TX power (independently configurable for each slot): -40 dBm, -30 dBm, -20dBm to 4 dBm (with 4dB steps). Additional configuration options: non-connectable mode, anonymous mode, programmable time period, locked/unlocked mode, change password Configurable with BlueBeacon Manager App for Android and iOSDefault settings
