About Cisco Beacon Point Module

CiscoBeaconPointModule(AIR-RM-VBLE2-K9=)isaBluetoothLowEnergy(BLEversionv4.2)beacon module that is mounted on supported Access Points. The access points now act as integrated WiFI and Bluetooth devices or Bluetooth-integrated access points. The smart device receives signals of different strengths from multiple Bluetooth-integrated access points.

Deploying Bluetooth-integrated access points is similar to any Wi-Fi location based service solution. The recommended density for deploying the Bluetooth-integrated access points is 1 per 2500 sq.ft. The recommended height for a Bluetooth-integrated access points is 13 ft (3.9 m). Cisco Beacon Center requires the correct physical orientation, position, and height of Bluetooth-integrated access points for providing clients with indoor navigation, turn-by-turn guidance and proximity messaging for best indoor navigation experience.
