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.

Key Features

  • Bluetooth 5.0 Low Energy Core Specification support for enhanced advertising capacity and improved range.
  • Ultra-low power consumption profile with configurable sleep modes, achieving a typical deep sleep current of 650 nanoamperes (nA).
  • Integrated, optimized PCB trace antenna for stable RF performance without external antenna matching components.
  • Software-configurable RF output power and advertising packet interval for balancing transmission range against battery life.
  • Support for standard beacon protocols (iBeacon, Eddystone) and fully customizable advertising data payloads.
  • Seamless Over-the-Air (OTA) firmware update capability for remote management and feature deployment.
  • Robust operating temperature range from -20°C to 125°C for industrial and outdoor environments.
  • Compact 60mm x 60mm form factor with mounting holes for easy mechanical integration into enclosures and products.

Applications

  • Indoor Positioning & Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) for warehouses, hospitals, and museums.
  • Asset Tracking & Inventory Management for logistics, manufacturing, and retail environments.
  • Proximity Marketing & Retail Engagement beacons for triggering content or offers near points of sale.
  • Smart Building Automation for room occupancy detection, access control, and equipment monitoring.
  • IoT Sensor Node Beacon for broadcasting sensor data (temperature, humidity) via BLE advertisements.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I configure the advertising interval and transmission power on the BLEV-Beacon-2.1?

The beacon is configured via serial AT commands sent over a UART interface. Connect the module's TX/RX pins to a USB-to-serial adapter, open a terminal at 9600 baud (8N1), and use commands like AT+ADVINT=1000 to set the advertising interval in milliseconds or AT+TXPOWER=4 to adjust RF output power. Refer to the EasyReach Solutions provided AT command manual for the full syntax and allowable parameter ranges for customization.

What is the expected battery life when running on a CR2032 coin cell?

Battery life depends heavily on the configured advertising interval and transmission power. With a typical 1-second interval and moderate TX power, drawing an average current of ~15µA, a standard CR2032 (225mAh) can power the beacon for approximately 1.5 years. Using the deep sleep mode (650nA) between infrequent broadcasts can extend this to multiple years. Perform a power profile calculation based on your specific duty cycle and chosen battery capacity for accurate estimates.

Can I update the beacon's firmware wirelessly, and what tools are required?

Yes, the BLEV-Beacon-2.1 supports Over-the-Air (OTA) firmware updates via Bluetooth Low Energy. You need a central device (like a smartphone with a dedicated app or a Nordic Semiconductor nRF Connect Desktop tool) that supports the Device Firmware Update (DFU) service. The process involves placing the beacon in DFU mode, connecting to it from your central device, and uploading the new firmware binary file. Ensure you have a stable BLE connection and adequate battery level during the update process.

How do I integrate this PCB beacon into my own product enclosure?

Integration is straightforward due to the compact 60x60mm PCB with mounting holes. Provide a regulated power supply between 1.1V and 3.6V to the VCC and GND pads. Ensure the enclosure material (especially if metallic) does not obstruct the integrated PCB antenna area, as this can severely reduce range. For programming and configuration, bring out the UART (TX/RX) and control (DFU, RESET) test points to a header or programming connector inside your enclosure for field serviceability.
