1. Product Introduction
VG05 is a Bluetooth Beacon device. It uses a
broadcasting protocol which is based on BLE
(Bluetooth Low Energy ). VG05 broadcasts its
general cofig parameters like UUID, Major, Minor,
RSSI etc. to surroundings over 37, 38 and 39 BLE
channels continuously and non-directionally . The
broadcasting information can be read by
“Skylab_xbeacon”APP, which is designed by Skylab
R&D Team.
1.1 VG05 Internal Module Introduction
VG05 is based on Nordic Bluetooth 4.2 chip.
It is powered by 2 CR14250 batteries. Its battery life
is related to the internal broadcasting parameters.
