Comment on How the 49ers Are Using Beacons to Help You Find Hot Dogs and Beerparent

Gimbal can should able to do that, though I would avoid their series 10 beacons if you want the battery to last more than 2 weeks. Series 20s are a bit big (a little larger than wallet sized) and use standard AA batteries (4 each) instead of something exotic.

There's also http://kontakt.io/ but they require a more exotic battery. I'm not sure about production capacity though.

I've had the same experience with battery life on the series 10 beacons as you. Haven't tried the 20 yet. What're those like as far as general battery life goes?

To tell the truth, I don't have experience with one running dead yet. We've had a few around the office for the last 4~5 months now.

There also StickNFind. They do customer sensors.
