TZone - TZ-BC05
The TZone TZ-BC05 is a compact and lightweight tracking device designed to provide reliable location and proximity monitoring. It combines a discreet creamy white enclosure with a small footprint of 45 x 45 x 21 mm and a weight of approximately 40 grams. The TZ-BC05 uses the iPhone iBeacon protocol and Bluetooth 4.0 technology for broadcasted signals, supports common mobile platforms, and offers adjustable broadcast parameters and a long operational life from a CR 2477 battery.
As a Plaspy compatible device, the TZ-BC05 is relevant for users who need a small, low profile beacon that integrates into a centralized tracking and fleet management workflow. Plaspy can surface the presence, approximate location, and operational status of compatible beacons like the TZ-BC05 alongside other devices, helping teams monitor assets and respond to location based events from a single platform.
