The autonomy of ELA Innovation products can reach 20 years depending on the settings and configuration chosen.
For more details, please refer to the autonomy curves available in the documentation area.
As beacons and sensors are battery operated, the temperature of use has an impact on their autonomy. On each product sheet you will find the recommended temperature ranges and in the documentation area, we provide you with autonomy curves taking into account different parameters including the temperature of use.

The frequency of sensor calibration will depend mainly on the use of the sensor and the level of accuracy required. Nevertheless, some standards and regulations impose calibration frequencies depending on the commodity.
The European Commission regulation N° 37/2005 dated January 12, 2005 (more info here) indicates that periodic verification according to the EN13486 standard is mandatory for the transport and storage of frozen food intended for human consumption.

Produits Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
Bluetooth Low Energy is a variant of the so-called “classic” Bluetooth. These two communication protocols are not used for the same purposes.
The “classic” Bluetooth will allow to exchange a large amount of data such as music for example, but will be very energy consuming.
The Bluetooth Low Energy also called BLE, will allow to send small packets of data such as an ID number or a sensor data (eg temperature, humidity). This variant, as its name indicates, is low energy and will also offer a much longer range than the “classic” Bluetooth.

The maximum range of a BLE beacon can reach 500 meters in open field. However, the range of a beacon can vary depending on its environment, we advise you to refer to this article to learn more: click here
ELA Innovation beacons are Apple iBeacon and Eddystone compatible. You can choose either setting when you place your order.
You can set the emission period of your beacons and sensors (whatever their technology) thanks to the Device Manager application which is available in PC or Mobile version.
