DESCRIPTION

The EMBP00 is a high-performance, customizable

Bluetooth V5.0 low energy proximity beacon with an

accelerometer for advanced functionality. The small and

rugged EMBP00 comes fully encapsulated with a resin

based polymer for protection against dust and liquids and

reliable use in harsh environmental conditions. The beacon

has been optimized for low-cost and ease of use.

The EMBP00 is compatible with major beacon formats

including iBeacon™, Eddystone™, AltBeacon™, and

trackable with proprietary systems such as the Quuppa

Intelligent Locating System™. The beacon is fully

customizable over the air or in manufacturing. For example,

the following parameters can be easily modified:

 Packet types, including custom packet type

 Device name, address, manufacturer name, model

number, HW/SW revision

 UUID, Major/Minor ID, UID or URL

 Beacon interval

 Transmitter output power

 Accelerometer function and sensitivity

The EMBP00 accelerometer can be used to implement

efficient and low-energy algorithms for various applications.

The accelerometer can be used to activate beaconing on

movement, or gestures, for example. When not active, the

beacon consumes minimal energy.

The EMBP00 can be stored in Warehouse Mode without

significantly degradation the battery lifetime and up to 10

years of battery life depending on usage conditions.

The EMBP00 can be delivered in any quantity with

guaranteed unique ID. A 2D unique serial number is printed

on the beacon for optical scanning.

The EMBP00 comes is weather resistant and operates over

a -20C to +60C temperature range. The EMBP00 is

Bluetooth V5.0, FCC, IC, and CE certified, RoHS and

REACH compliant.
