How do Beacons work?

Beacon is a small wireless device transmitting a continuous radio signal.

The signal is detected by nearby smart devices via Bluetooth SmartTM.

Smart devices receives the ID number of a beacon in range and sends that number to the cloud server.

The server checks what action is assigned to that ID number and responds.

What could thatresponse be?That’s up to you.

An example:You are walking by a store and see a nice pair of sneakers. You really like them but would ratherwant them in blue.

There is a Beacon placed next to the sneakers. Your smartphone receives the information that sneakers in blue are available to purchase in the store’s online section. Additionally if you purchase them today you will geta discount of 20%.

You make a purchase inthe application.

You walk away happy with exactly what you want, exactly when you wanted it.

Bluetooth Beacon

● Communicates with Bluetooth Smart technology.

● Android and iOS compatible.● Include various sensors as an option (ex.

temperature, humidity, accelerometer...)● coin cell battery with up to 2 years life with

default settings and 24-hours daily usage (350ms interval).

Cloud Beacon

● WiFi connectivity● Manage and control entire Bluetooth

Beacon fleet● Effective range up to 200 meters / 650 feet● WiFi signals less affected by walls or dense

materials compared to BLE● Rechargeable battery + connection to

standard electricity outlet● Includes built-in memory module for offline

data collection

Page 12: Amsterdam iBeacon Meetup - Kontakt.io Technology

First release features:

● WiFi scanning (For the moment:

Access Points and iOS devices only)

● BLE Kontakt.io Beacons scanning

● Data synchronization with cloud

● CB Configuration from/to cloud

● Local configuration using USB cable

● Firmware update using USB cable

and a dedicated application

(Windows, Mac, Linux)

Roadmap - Release

Page 13: Amsterdam iBeacon Meetup - Kontakt.io Technology

● Kontakt.io Beacon management & configuration update○ This will enable Random IDs for added

security and full Beacon fleet management

● WiFi scanning (AP and any clients)● Kontakt.io Beacon firmware update● Data sync in “push” mode

○ Eg. push info when wristband or smartphone beacon shows up

● CB Configuration using smartphone

Roadmap - Next Step

Tough Beacon

● Shatter-resistant

● Waterproof up to 10 m

● Works from -20C (-4 F) - +60C (140F)● Anti-static

● Same great BLE Beacon hardware● 5 - 7 week production lead time

Tough Beacon is tough for real world use

When you want to use your beacons in outdoor, exposed situations, you need something

tougher than the usual beacon. Something that can stand up to bumps and knocks, rain

and sun, and that’s tough to remove while as reliable as our regular Smart Beacon. When

you think outdoors proximity, think Tough Beacon.

One API to rule them all

Cloud Beacons are constantly reporting all the events and data to the Kontakt.io Cloud which is a single point of any further integrations via robust RESTful API
