Key Features

Supports the iBeacon protocol by default and can be customized; used for personnel/asset tracking and Bluetooth data relay. When fixed to a wall, the gateway scans surrounding asset beacons and reports via the LoRa base station—up to 50 beacons per report. To ensure scan success, the beacon broadcast interval should be shorter than the gateway scan time.
