Battery lasts up to 10 years
The Heavy Duty Beacon uses four Lithium-Thionyl Chloride batteries. With lean firmware and the latest Nordic chipset, we’ve ensured that this beacon with massive capacity runs for 10 years.

Use it in rough indoor and outdoor environments
The Heavy Duty Beacon is resistant to high and low temperatures (-40°C to +80°C/ -40°F to 176°F), rain and snow (IP65 rating), and mechanical impact. This means you can use it outdoors and in industrial environments.

Extend your solution with accelerometer
Thanks to the built-in accelerometer, the Heavy Duty Beacon supports use cases like theft prevention, vibration detection in forklifts, large scale asset tracking, and more.
