Global Tag PROTECTION CASE BEACONY is a BLE Smart Beacon (Bluetooth Low Energy 4.2) equipped with a silicone protective case.

The device can be set to broadcast i-Beacon or Eddystone (UUID, URL, TLM) advertising packets.

It guarantees high performances (200 meters detection range), despite the absolutely affordable cost.
The battery CR2032 (PANASONIC®) is replaceable and it can survive more than 1 year with default configuration.

The protective cover has been designed to enter the basic unit, BLE Disk Beacony: indeed the product keep the same features, such as the optional sensors: it is possible, on request, to integrate accelerometer and/or temperature/humidity sensor.

Besides, for particular applications, the BLE Beacon can be supplied with integrated NFC technology: we can also encode the BLE-NFC device, in order to create a univocal association between them. The operation consists in storing the unique code of the NFC tag (UID) in the “device name” (or “friendly name”) of the Beacon BLE (or, as alternative, storing the MAC address of the Beacon in the user memory of the NFC tag).
