    Confidex has released its newly enhanced Viking Tough Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon that delivers real-time intelligence about the conditions and status of assets and goods in places and conditions where typical BLE beacon devices won’t last.

    The high performance, battery-powered and industrial-grade beacon enables Industrial IoT use cases such as asset tracking/management, condition monitoring, or other real-time location services (RTLS) applications across sectors such as automotive, construction, oil & gas, and mining.

    Viking Tough leverages Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF52832 multiprotocol System on a Chip (SoC), to provide ultra-low power consumption, as well as exceptional radio sensitivity. Tough’s polyurethane enclosure ensures the device is extremely ruggedized (it boasts an IP69K-rating) and qualified for use over an extended –40ºC to 85ºC operating temperature range. This newly enhanced product has secured RF certifications already in Europe, US and Canada as well as Australia/New Zealand, Brazil, Japan, South-Korea, Russia and Ukraine.

    “Thanks to Confidex’ engineering, and by leveraging Nordic’s nRF52832 SoC, the Viking Tough’s exceptional radio performance and optimized power consumption makes it a product that serves the industrial IoT market with reliable connectivity that will run for years without any need for maintenance,” says Thomas Holmberg, senior regional sales manager, Europe, Nordic Semiconductor.

    With secure NFC authentication for tamper-proof operation, the Viking beacons cannot be hacked or maliciously configured by third- party apps, or over BLE radio, thanks not only to NFC authentication but also unique beacon identity keys.

    Further, the Viking Tough is equipped with a high-performance accelerometer and hall-effect sensor.

    The Viking Tough device transmits to a user’s smartphone or to a back-end system using the Bluetooth LE connectivity, sensor telemetry data and open format advertising packets by Google Eddystone and Apple iBeacon. Identifying a beacon in a fixed position or linking it with a certain asset in the back-end system can be easily done by reading the built-in NFC tag with a mobile phone or from a printed QR code on the label.
