Feature

●Our newest USB-powered beacon makes battery life a non-issue. In addition, because there is no battery to worry about, you can speed up the broadcast interval to 100ms to make it easier for phone/scanner to "see" and react to the broadcast very quickly. Does not include wall charger; compatible with any standard USB-A 5V wall charger or USB-A port on a computer or inside a vehicle.
●Broadcasts your choice of iBeacon, Eddystone TLM, Eddystone URL, and/or Eddystone UID format. Eddystone TLM broadcasts battery strength, temperature, and broadcast count data every tenth broadcast.
●Free configuration apps for iPhone & Android allow you to adjust settings according to your needs.
●Transmit distance: 0.2-60 meters when using BLE 5.0. Selectable TX levels: -40, -20, -16, -12, -8, -4, 0, +4dBm
