1、 Introduction to iBeacon Beacon
iBeaconVDB1615 is a Bluetooth positioning beacon device launched by Shenzhen Weineng Information Technology Co., Ltd. (95power), developed based on the Nordic BLE 4.2 Bluetooth chip nRF52810. VDB1615 is compatible with iBeacon mode and Eddystone mode, with Bluetooth broadcast coverage up to 100 meters. Commonly used as a Bluetooth positioning base station in Bluetooth positioning systems.

The VDB1615 Bluetooth positioning beacon uses the BLE low-power Bluetooth broadcast method to continuously send undirected broadcast packets on channels 37, 38, and 39 using its supported universal attribute configuration file. The broadcast content can be read by the mobile app "95POWER_xbeacon" developed by our R&D team, including UUID, Major, Minor, RSSI and other information.
2、 Beacon features
