Eddystone is the BLE-based beacon protocol that allows broadcast of a URL. For the Magnet project we want to understand some of the parameters including: \r\n\r\n* Battery life\r\n* Minimum and Maximum practical range\r\n* Simultaneous iBeacon and Eddystone broadcasting\r\n\r\n### Vendors\r\n\r\nGoogle hosts a page listing the manufacturers & vendors whose devices they have evaluated and confirmed support Eddystone: https://developers.google.com/beacons/eddystone#full_support_for_eddystone\r\nSome are OEMs like Nordic Semiconductor, others are bundling beacons with cloud services, enterprise support etc. This project will focus on those vendors which offer Eddystone beacons for purchase and evaluation today. \r\n\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mozilla/connected-devices-experiments/issues/comments/214818075","html_url":"https://github.com/mozilla/connected-devices-experiments/issues/32#issuecomment-214818075","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mozilla/connected-devices-experiments/issues/32","id":214818075,"user":{"login":"sfoster","id":97747,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/97747?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfoster","html_url":"https://github.com/sfoster","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfoster/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfoster/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfoster/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfoster/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfoster/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfoster/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfoster/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfoster/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sfoster/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-04-26T17:23:15Z","updated_at":"2016-04-26T17:23:15Z","body":"### [Reco Beacon](http://reco2.me/reco-beacon/)\r\n* SDK and Configuration App (currently iOS only, android app in progress)\r\n* Beacon start kit with 3 beacons for $57  http://international.store.reco2.me/product/reco-starterkit/      \r\n* Product info is all geared around iBeacon type use cases.
