Hey there, you beacon aficionados! Hope you’re having a fantastic day.
We have a small batch of a new version of the Proximity Beacon, where we iterated on the antenna design. As a result, these beacons have much better range, from our internal tests, more than a 100 m on +4 dBm. Everything else works the same as with the current, G1.8 Proximity Beacons.
We’re now looking for some external beta testers to try them out. Ideally, you have a use case that benefits from the longer range. We’ll also ask you to test the range in your environment, using your own app, with as many smartphones as you have on hand, and let us know how was it. Optionally, you can also test with the Physical Web.
