Viking Quuppa Starting Kit includes 5 Quuppa-enabled Beacons

Beacon Bluetooth® Low Energy Viking Quuppa by Confidex designed for industrial applications. It is a valid tool for identification, detection and localization. Supports Quuppa's advanced location system that uses Bluetooth® technology and the arrival angle (AoA) methodology.

The robust casing makes this Beacon suitable for industrial environments and completely protected from water and dust infiltration.

For the activation and configuration of the Confidex Viking Quuppa, the Android Confidex Runestone application is available.
