CHAPTER 1

Overview of Cisco USB BLE Beacon

Cisco USB Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) Beacon is a USB-compatible device for use with the Cisco Aironet 1830/1850/2800/3800 Series Access Points (APs) and provides the BLE beacon functionality. Cisco USB BLE Beacon expands the Cisco Aironet 1800, 2800, and 3800 Series Wave 2 11ac AP platforms to add BLE radio capability.

Cisco USB BLE Beacon offers an end-to-end BLE solution for APs that do not have the BLE capability, and is a cost-effective way of adding this capacity to the AP network. The addition of a BLE radio enables the AP with additional functionalities, including the ability to transmit a BLE Beacon for Proximity Messaging and Wayfinding and the ability to receive a BLE Beacon for asset-tracking applications.

Cisco USB BLE Beacon is managed by Cisco Digital Network Architecture (DNA) Spaces and supported as part of the Cisco DNA Spaces ACT license. The Cisco DNA Spaces-BLE Manager application allows you to control both the receiving and transmitting capabilities of the Cisco USB BLE Beacon. As a transmitter, the Cisco USB BLE Beacon provides the capability to transmit in an iBeacon, Eddystone URL, or Eddystone UID format. Similarly, as a receiver, the Cisco USB BLE Beacon can receive packets in iBeacon, Eddystone URL, or Eddystone UID format.

Cisco USB BLE Beacon has a MAC address, with the QR code representing the MAC address printed or labeled on the outer casing.

Cisco USB BLE Beacon as a Solution

A cloud-managed and integrated Cisco USB BLE Beacon provides enterprise customers with a set of superior BLE capabilities. An AP-based BLE beacon provides all the native capabilities of BLE, including the capability to invoke applications that subscribe to the iBeacon and to be used to aid indoor navigation without the burden of using battery power.

The advantages of cloud-managed AP-powered BLE beacons are:

• Ease of configuration at scale—Manage thousands of BLE beacons at scale just as easily as you can manage APs at scale

• AP powered—Since the USB BLE beacon takes power from the AP, there are no issues related to power management on the beacons

• Reduced chance of theft or movement of the beacon—Because the beacon is a part of the wireless AP infrastructure, there is a much smaller chance of the beacon being lost or removed
