Place It and Forget It
Energy harvesting and power management module does not require tedious battery replacement operation thereby allowing sustainable and autonomous operation. So place your HKUST SolarBeacon and forget about it.
Small but Powerful
HKUST SolarBeacon uses small but powerful solar panel to supply energy to both BLE chipset and also Li-ion rechargeable batter capable of powering the device for over 36 hours when configured to advertising with 800 ms interval.
High Performance
HKUST SolarBeacon, despite relying on energy harvested energy sources, allows very short advertising interval up to 100 ms.
Suit Your Needs
HKUST SolarBeacon allows easy configuration through user-end smartphones. Configure transmission power, advertising interval, device name, and other protocol specific configuration at your will.
Dual Compatibility
HKUST SolarBeacon uses its own protocol which allows simultaneous compatibility with two different BLE standards: iBeacon and EddyStone.
