B2 Beacon: Internet of Things (IoT) Applications
The B2 is an intelligent badge that comes with an SOS button and a high-capacity battery. It enables you to combine your ID card and BLE communication in a single compact device. With remote reminders and alert responses, this smart wearable badge provides geographic boundary alerts and restriction entry alerts through a series of LED notifications and an audible warning mechanism.
The smart wearable badge is a versatile tool that can be assigned to individuals for participation tracking and access control purposes in various environments such as schools, exhibitions, and events. It offers visitor analysis and access control to restricted areas or resources, significantly optimizing personnel management for organizations.
The versatility of the B2 Bluetooth badge is enhanced by its structural design for ultrasonic sources and IP66 waterproofing features, ensuring reliable performance even in the most challenging environments. Additionally, its robust RF performance allows it to reach advertising distances of up to 150 meters in open spaces.
