Board/B BLE

Board/B BLE is a rugged industrial Bluetooth Low Energy proximity-beacon with external DC voltage supply. It simultaneously supports multiple technologies: iBeacon, Eddystone (full support, with GATT and EID), Quuppa (emulation mode).

Board/B BLE is designed to operate in extreme operating conditions (rugged weatherproof IP67/NEMA6 enclosure, wide temperature range) and is conceived for use in light and heavy industry.

It is powered by external DC voltage up to 30V, compatible with main industrial automation systems.

Thanks to internal GPIOs, it is possible to provided it with custom firmware for sensors/actuators management.

Technical documentation Contact us for purchase

iBeacon technology creates a small area of detection for Bluetooth 4.0 enabled mobile devices. BLE 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.
