1. Overview
This BEEKs™ LR Install Guide covers the basics of the BLE long-range beacon setup and provisioning of equipment with
Bluzone Cloud account and project. The BEEKSLR001 family of long-range beacons (+20 dBm Tx max) are intended for
environments that require higher beacon transmission strength than the standard BEEKS001 family of beacons (+5 dBm
Tx max). This install guide is intended for install technicians.
BEEKs™ Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) beacons are among the most advanced beacons in the industry. Being fully
Apple iBeacon and Google Eddystone compatible, BEEKs beacons may be used for any standard beacon application
that provides location based promotional or way-finding services to smartphone users. BEEKs beacons are available in
multiple form factors and sensor configurations.
When combined with HID Global’s end-to-end IoT ecosystem, which includes BluFi™ BLE to WiFi gateways and the
Bluzone™ cloud services, BEEKs can be centrally managed remotely through the cloud to transfer new messages,
firmware updates, and battery status checks. Their unique design allows BEEKs to broadcast reliably even in densely
populated WiFi environments.
The BLE radio enables the Beacon to transmit condition monitoring, proximity messaging, way finding, and asset
location. Bluzone allows you to control the transmitting capabilities of the Beacon. The Beacon provides the ability to
transmit in iBeacon, Eddystone, or sBeacon format.
