BlueUp is a IoT company providing devices and solutions based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons technology. BlueBeacon Manager is the configuration and management app for BlueBeacon-series BLE beacons running second-generation firmware (version 5.0 or higher). BlueUp firmware version 5.0 is the first BLE-beacon firmware worldwide to offer support, at the same time, of the following technologies: iBeacon (released by Apple), Eddystone (released by Google, with full support of new Eddystone specifications, including configuration GATT and Eddystone-EID), Quuppa (released by Quuppa, a location technology with sub-meter accuracy). BlueBeacon Manager App allows to configure up to 8 slots for the different packet frames, with the following features: - up to 4 slots for Eddystone frame packets: URL, UID, TLM (at present, app does not allows to configure EID-frame slots and register beacon on Google back-end); - up to 4 slots for additional packets, including iBeacon, Quuppa and Sensors, a proprietary frame-packet for sensor data advertising; Each slot is independently configurable with its own transmission power and advertising interval. Multiple frames of the same type are allowed (e.g., up to 4 different iBeacon frames or Eddystone-URL frames). Additional functionalities are: - setting of connectable/non-connectable mode; - setting of anonymous mode; - setting of a time interval for advertising (with start/stop hour); - setting operating mode depending on beacon position (only for BlueBeacon Tag); - resetting to factory configuration; - change of password. BlueBeacon-series beacons offers state-of-art security features, including: - support for Eddystone-EID encrypted and time-rotating packet frame; - encrypted transmission of lock/unlock password.
