BLE-beacon supported technologies
The following technologies are supported simultaneously: the two main
technologies for proximity-beacons for mobile applications, iBeacon and
Eddystone, together with a technologies for RTLS BLE tags, Quuppa.
This is the first worldwide firmware to support these three technologies
at the same time. It also advertises a proprietary frame, BlueUp
Sensors, for sensor data broadcast.
Additionally, it guarantees full
support for Eddystone specifications.
This means that you will be able to manage BlueBeacon beacons (for
configuration of Eddystone frames) also using open-source development
tools for Eddystone beacons, such as
Proximity Beacon API from Google or
nRF Beacon for Eddystone app from Nordic Semiconductors.
