FAQs
Do iBKS beacons support iBeacon™ and Eddystone™ protocols?
The iBKS models are 100% compatible with our Eddystone™ + iBeacon™ firmware updates. Officially iBKS is the first beacon compatible with both iBeacon™ and Eddystone™ at the same time.
Is EID registration limited only to Google Developers Platform?
No. Eddystone is an open beacon format and, even though we strongly recommend using Google Proximity Beacon API at least in the first steps while getting started with Eddystone EID, through this link you will find all the information needed in order to develop your own EID trusted resolver for registration.
Can my old iBKS work with Eddystone™-EID?
Your old IBKS can work with Eddystone™-EID if the current software revision is one of the following (you can check the iBKS software rev. by connecting to the beacon through iBKS Config Tool): EDSTEID V5.XXXX.XX.XX.X (Any V5) EDST V3.2015.11.10.1 EDST V3.2015.07.21.1 ID.V2.2015.03.30.1 For other versions please contact us.
Do iBKS beacons incorporate sensors?
By default, all iBKS models can incorporate an accelerometer, a hall sensor and a temperature sensor as an optional additional hardware. If you need to incorporate other sensors, please contact us through this form for further information.
Why should I use Eddystone™-EID?
In order to enhance the security of your beacon networks, preventing the risk of being tracked or controlled by malicious third parties. More info click here.
