BLE Nordic with Sensor

  • This device is Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons that use Bluetooth technology to transmit small packets of data at regular intervals.
  • They are primarily used for proximity-based applications such as location tracking, navigation, asset tracking, and marketing
  • Operates on BLE, which is energy-efficient and suitable for battery-powered devices.
  • Battery life can range from months to years, depending on transmission frequency and power settings.
  • Transmission interval (advertising interval): Adjustable to balance between battery life and responsiveness.
