In order to estimate the battery life, the following configurable items have
been considered:
Number of slots enabled
Type of slot: iBeacon or Eddystone (UID, URL, TLM and EID)
TX power defined for each slot
Advertising period defined for each slot
Beacon mode: connectable or non-connectable.
The common use cases shown in the table have been estimated under the
following conditions:
All the slots enabled advertise at the same TX power.
All the slots enabled, except Eddystone Telemetry (TLM), have the
same advertising period: 950ms.
The advertising period for Eddystone TLM is set to 60s.
The iBKS is in always non-connectable mode.
EID Rotation Period (K) is set to 10 which means that every 17 minutes
approximately a new ephemeral ID is calculated.
IMPORTANT:
Battery life estimation applies from firmware version EDSTEID V5.2016.06.29.1 onwards.
Notice all values shown in this chapter are just an estimation. Real battery life
might differ depending on the environment where the iBKS Plus is placed.
