Abstract

The paper describes the results of tests of the iBeacon reconfigurable hardware platform using the BLE112 module. The platform is used in UUID broadcasting. Based on the unique UUID address broadcast by a radio transmitter, it is possible to determine the distance from it using an application installed on a smartphone. The article presents the results of prototype tests of the electronic module, among others, the estimation of the maximum working time of a battery powered device and the estimation of the accuracy of determining the distance.
