Mini is a small form-factor battery-powered Bluetooth Low Energy beacon. With second-generation firmware version, it simultaneously supports multiple
technologies: iBeacon, Eddystone (full support, with GATT and EID), Quuppa (emulation mode).
Mini is tiny and lightweight: it is the perfect choice for stable or temporary installations (shops, museums, exhibits, trade fairs, ...), for pilot projects, for movable installations, for asset identification.
Mini is powered by a CR2477 coin cell, that can be easily replaced by simply unscrewing the back panel.

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.
