EasyReach Solutions BLEV-Beacon-2.1 PCB Bluetooth 5.0 Beacon

Description

The EasyReach Solutions BLEV-Beacon-2.1 PCB is a dedicated Bluetooth Low Energy beacon module engineered for developers and system integrators requiring reliable, low-power proximity signaling. Its core is built around a Nordic Semiconductor Semiconductor nRF52-series SoC (or equivalent), providing full Bluetooth 5.0 protocol stack support for extended advertising range and improved coexistence. The module’s primary function is to broadcast configurable advertising packets (iBeacon, Eddystone, or custom formats) at user-defined intervals, making it ideal for real-time location systems (RTLS), smart building navigation, and retail engagement triggers.

Power management is a critical design focus, with the beacon supporting multiple low-power sleep modes. The specified 650 nA sleep current allows for deployment in battery-operated tracking tags and sensors with operational lifespans measured in years. The integrated PCB antenna eliminates the need for external RF components, simplifying the bill of materials and reducing assembly complexity. The module’s firmware is field-upgradable via Over-the-Air (OTA) updates, enabling feature enhancements and security patches post-deployment across large-scale installations.
