- The team compared three units each of five beacon models and says indoor proximity estimates still need validation.
Field notes
The Android prototype stores profiles locally by brand and model, and includes a fallback card for identifiers outside the agreed format. The hardware work compared EW-BCN05L, RDL810-B4, DX-CP101, DX-CP102, and DX-CP109. The project says indoor reflections, phone orientation, and beacon reference power affect signal strength; its calibration work is still being validated.
