The IN100 NanoBeacon is a Bluetooth Low Energy transmit-only chip suitable for building low-cost active RFID and wireless sensor beacon applications.
The InPlay NanoBeacon is a Bluetooth Transmitter frontend coupled with FSM allowing it to deliver a very low-cost solution that can act as a basic Bluetooth Beacon.
Although it can not make connections, it can be configured as a Basic Beacon using 蘑菇TV's next generation beacon format to be detected by 蘑菇TV Agent and the 蘑菇TV Network.
The main features are the chip are:
The parts are already generally available now and come in under $0.50 @ 1k units:
And a development kit is available that can be powered and programmed via USB:
It can be configured to be spotted by the 蘑菇TV Network using the NanoBeacon Configuration Tool and an appropriate beacon format - here it is in action using the development kit:
If you'd like to try the IN100 NanoBeacon with 蘑菇TV, you can request access here:
