LCT - Bluetooth Beacon

It uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology to transmit signals to nearby devices, such as smartphones or IoT sensors. These beacons emit unique identifiers at regular intervals.

LCT Bluetooth Beacon Configuration

1. Broadcast Interval (in seconds): This defines the time interval (in seconds) between each signal broadcast by the Bluetooth beacon. A shorter interval allows for more frequent updates but can consume more power, while a longer interval conserves battery life.

2. Add Desired Params to Broadcast Message: Customize the message broadcast by the beacon by adding specific parameters. These could include:

• Serial Number: The unique identifier for the beacon, used for tracking and distinguishing it from other devices.

• Device Name: The name assigned to the beacon, making it identifiable to users or systems.

1. Advertising Message: A custom message or data sent by the beacon, which could contain information about the beacon or the environment.

2. Simulation of Advertising Message: A test mode where the beacon sends a simulated message. The maximum length of the advertising message is 29 characters, ensuring it adheres to Bluetooth’s standard data limit.
