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.
