1, Suzhou Fun iBeacon: I installed a lot in the mall, using magnets and glue. The installation speed is fast and the replacement is convenient. Battery capacity is a big advantage. The 2400mha battery I used, the sample I took last year, and the electricity. The theoretical service life is 2 years. How long it will last will be tested by time. The configuration software of iBeacon is very beautiful, which is a bright spot. The disadvantage is that the node shape is relatively general. At present, it mainly supplies smart maps, which are deeply hidden and have a large shipment, but their popularity is relatively small. At present, there are new nodes with lower power consumption chips, which are advertised to last for 5 years. In addition, there is an exquisite lighthouse, which complements the slightly inferior industrial iBeacon pair.
2, Zhishi iBeacon: Zhishi iBeacon is now very famous, the market and application are very hot, and there are many customers. Beacon has two models, the first one looks good, but the power consumption is too short, which is not suitable for large-scale deployment and operation in less than half a year. The second type increases the capacity of the battery, but there are some problems in the process design, and it is very troublesome to replace the battery. The charging scheme recommended by Zhishi is also useless (in engineering maintenance, people want to replace the battery immediately, and charging is too troublesome and difficult to operate). The B mark of Zhishi is a bright spot, and the badge worn by one person is not bad.
3, sensor: very amazing iBeacon, Yunzi is recognized as the best iBeacon in the industry, but the price is too high, it is more suitable for some tall occasions, and the cost is too high for large departments. The battery capacity of the cloud box is larger than that of Yunzi, and the price is also cheaper, but the appearance is average. It is very troublesome to move and replace the cloud box after it is attached to the wall. The overall feeling of engineering application is not as good as that of seeking interest iBeacon.
4.April Brothers: April was actually the first company in China to commercialize iBeacon, but at first it lost some important customers because of battery power and after-sales problems, and then it was relatively quiet. Recently, a new node can save electricity. I don't know if I can reverse the unfavorable situation.
5, X beacon: waterproof beacon, the fatal disadvantage is that the power is insufficient and the battery cannot be replaced. But it can be considered in outdoor scenes that need waterproofing.
