Brick is an high-end long-life industrial rugged outdoor Bluetooth Low Energy beacon, based on nRF52832 chipset with simultaneously supports of iBeacon, Eddystone (full support, with GATT and EID),
Quuppa (emulation mode).
Brick is perfectly suitable for all installations where protection from environmental factors and long operating life are critical parameters. Typical scenarios are logistics,
outdoor installations, industrial plants, automotive.
Brick has a rugged IP67/NEMA6 enclosure, includes an accelerometer and is powered by a replaceable lithium thionyl chloride battery pack ER14505 1S2P with more than 5Ah capacity and
extended operating temperature range.

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.
