Overview of Outdoor BLE Beacon for Location Tracking
The DSBC-061 outdoor ble beacon for locationing traking utilizes a combination of RSSI and AOA techniques to achieve enhanced location accuracy:
- RSSI for Distance Estimation: The beacon measures the strength of the Bluetooth signal received by a nearby device to estimate the distance between the beacon and the device. This technique provides a general indication of proximity.
- AOA for Directional Accuracy: The DSBC-061 employs multiple antennas to pinpoint the direction of the signal’s arrival. By analyzing the signal’s arrival angle from these antennas, the beacon can determine the device’s location with much greater accuracy.
Features of Outdoor BLE Beacon for Location Tracking
- Long-Range Transmission: The DSBC-061 Outdoor BLE Beacon for Location Tracking boasts a transmission range of up to 200 meters, allowing for wide-area coverage in outdoor settings.
- Extended Battery Life: Powered by a high-capacity battery, the DSBC-061 Outdoor BLE Beacon for Location Tracking offers exceptional battery life, minimizing maintenance requirements and maximizing uptime.
- Rugged Construction: The BLE beacon is IP67 rated, making it resistant to dust, water, and harsh weather conditions, ensuring reliable operation in challenging outdoor environments.
- Flexible Configuration: The DSBC-061 outdoor BLE Beacon for location tracking can be configured to meet specific application needs, including adjustable transmission intervals, advertising power, and other parameters.
Applications for Precise Outdoor Location Tracking:
