Currently, there are many innovative products on the market that support different Bluetooth standards. Incorporating any aspect of a Bluetooth module into a Bluetooth beacon has come a long way. The communication standard and protocol used are critical when choosing the right Bluetooth module for your beacon. In this post, we’ll explore the definition and features of beacon Bluetooth module along with some Bluetooth modules and beacons designed by MOKOBlue. Let us begin:
An introduction to beacon Bluetooth module
The beacon Bluetooth module is a set of hardware transmitters capable of broadcasting their identity to nearby devices. They are powered by batteries and use Bluetooth low energy (BLE) that easily aids in the transition of signals to receiving devices or systems with BLE scanners within a certain range. They serve as a communication bridge by making a connection between the digital and physical worlds to those carrying enabling devices.
It utilizes the BLE proximity sensing to broadcast a generally distinct identifier that is picked up by the app or operating system that has the same compatibility. The distinct identifier and several bytes sent with it are then used to determine the physical location, track down customers or initiate other location-based actions, and lots more.
The Bluetooth beacon majorly consists of:
- A small microprocessor (CPU)
- A battery (usually small Lithium chip batteries)
- A radio
Cases of Bluetooth beacon modules:
Since its inception, Beacon Bluetooth Modules have been used in multiple capacities and for different purposes. Not only can be used in various IoT devices such as sensors and actuators, BLE modules can also be used in fitness, healthcare, home entertainment and beacon applications.
Bluetooth beacons for proximity marketing or indoor navigation purposes have been widely embraced by various retail organizations, primarily as a means of pushing promotional offers and notifications to customers via their smartphones. Other applications include Donald Trump’s digital election campaign and Nagoya University Hospital using Bluetooth beacon technology to provide better services to patients.
Features of the beacon Bluetooth module
- It can link up with any BLE-enabled device
- They are easy to install and cheap
- The cost of maintenance is usually minimal
- The bluetooth broadcast and scan protocol is used to communicate
- Power energy usage or lesser power consumption
- Guarantees long lasting usage
Functions of beacon Bluetooth module
- For data collection and transmission
- For the control of objects that are not within your proximity
- For communication between devices (inter-device connectivity)
- Certain tasks can be performed automatically with the help of the Bluetooth beacon module
