M2 Asset Beacon

The M2 Asset Beacon is an industry-grade Bluetooth LE beacon designed for reliable asset tracking in harsh and demanding environments. With its long-lasting battery life of over 4 years on a single battery, it ensures reliable performance. M2 Asset Beacon is mainly used for asset tracking, indoor navigation, wayfinding, proximity marketing, etc. With its multiple installation methods and robust enclosure, it can be deployed in factories, warehouses, buildings, and other indoor or outdoor places.

• Nordic nRF52811 SoC (Hardware is compatible with Bluetooth 5.1)
• Integrated 3-axis accelerometer and magnetic (Hall-effect sensor) switch sensors
• Integrated temperature and humidity sensor & barometer (optional)
• Memory Flash for 100,000+ temperature and humidity data and door status records
• Smartphone app (iOS & Android, and provide SDK) easily configure all parameters

M2 Asset Beacons for rough indoor and outdoor environments

Higher IP67 waterproof rating design and wide operating temperature range enable M2 Asset Beacon to resistant to extreme environments, like rain and snow conditions. Besides,the up to 4 years lifetime and 160 meters advertising range can reduce the frequency of replacing and checking times in some remote area.

How to install M2 asset beacon

Magnetic switch for safe control of M2 Asset Beacon

Multiple installation options of M2 like hanging with lanyard, screws or double-sided sticker can be selected by user. After deployment,M2 can be easily powered on by a magnet via integrated omni polar Hall-effect sensor and it can avoid accidental controll by an external button.

Motion detection helps M2 Assect Beacon save battery

An Integrated 3-axis accelerometer sensor can identify whether your asset is moving or not. M2 can go to sleep mode and stop advertising when your asset is not moving, it is a better method to save the energy of M2. In addition, the M2 Beacon can be used for theft prevention, vibration detection in forklifts, large-scale asset tracking based on the data sampling of a 3-axis accelerometer sensor.
