Seeed Studio BC02 Outdoor Bluetooth Beacon

The Seeed Studio BC02 is a rugged outdoor Bluetooth beacon for maintenance-free long-term use in demanding environments. The device continuously transmits BLE 5.0 signals according to the iBeacon protocol, which can be received by Bluetooth-enabled devices like the SenseCAP T1000 or T2000 Tracker, allowing for meter-accurate positioning (2–3 m). Thanks to the integrated 4000 mAh lithium-ion battery and the energy-efficient BLE chip, the beacon achieves an operating time of more than seven years without a battery change under standard configuration.

Recommended Accessories:

• SenseCAP LoRaWAN GPS Tracker T1000-A with Sensors

Features:

• Over seven years of operation time thanks to a 4000 mAh lithium-ion battery and energy-efficient BLE 5.0 chip under standard configuration without maintenance or battery replacement
• IP68 water resistance and IK08 shock resistance allow for maintenance-free outdoor use with ground mounting, even in flood-risk areas or under mechanical stress
• Up to 75 meters transmission range in open field with configurable transmission power (-40 to +4 dBm) and transmission interval (100 ms to 5 s) for flexible deployment scenarios
