Cisco USB Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) Beacon is a USB-compatible device for use with the Cisco Aironet 1830/1850/2800/3800 Series Access Points (APs) and provides the BLE beacon functionality. Cisco USB BLE Beacon expands the Cisco Aironet 1800, 2800, and 3800 Series Wave 2 11ac AP platforms to add BLE radio capability.
Cisco USB BLE Beacon offers an end-to-end BLE solution for APs that do not have the BLE capability, and is a cost-effective way of adding this capacity to the AP network. The addition of a BLE radio enables the AP with additional functionalities, including the ability to transmit a BLE Beacon for Proximity Messaging and Wayfinding and the ability to receive a BLE Beacon for asset-tracking applications.
