The combination of the newest generation of beacon hardware and a massive upgrade in the capabilities of Bluetooth 5.0 means that the applications of beacons have grown far beyond what you may have read about even half a year ago.
The endless applications of these powerful tools are reaching new industries and more businesses are taking their first steps into the world proximity solutions.
Kontakt.io has put together a few tips and reminders to make the installation and maintenance of a beacon ecosystem easier and help keep it running perfectly.
The planning, installation and maintenance of a beacon ecosystem are all interlinked, and making the right choices in the one stage makes the next one that much easier. Remember that deploying beacons is a technical matter. It involves a degree of familiarity with some best practices regarding how to use the hardware and how to optimize it for your environment.
This is true right from the beginning when you take your first beacons out of the box to see what they can do.
These are the kinds of issues that can put you on the wrong path immediately if you’re not careful. We can help.
Before it’s time to flip the switch and go online with your beacon deployment, you have to make some important choices about two aspects of a beacon’s performance that can significantly impact its battery life - the frequency and strength of the beacon signal. The faster the frequency, the better the user experience. The stronger the signal, the greater the range the beacon has.
The trade-off comes in battery life, since a higher frequency sent with greater power takes more of the limited energy the battery has. But don’t make the mistake of thinking that faster and further is always better.
