Beam Mini + Cisco Spaces + Kio Cloud
With the Kontakt.io Beam Mini, you can get outcomes with real-time spatial insights with room-level certainty. The Beam Mini is 100% compatible with a Cisco Catalyst Access Point infrastructure, making it easy to deploy and scale across different locations without a significant additional investment.
This deployment topology delivers the highest level of room-level accuracy for both Tags with BLE-only and those with BLE + Infrared (IR) capabilities.
-
One Beam Mini (room sensor) is mounted in each room and throughout the corridors. Beams do not require cabling or Power over Ethernet (PoE).
-
With the right density of Access Points, additional Portal Lights are not required.
-
Beam Mini data is transmitted to the Cisco Spaces cloud platform via the Cisco Catalyst Access Points, and the Kontakt.io Kio Cloud platform consumes the data via the Cisco Spaces Meta (Firehose) API.

-
Built for Scalability: Designed to provide enterprises with the streamlined efficiency they need when time is of essence. A smaller, more agile sibling to the Portal Beam, it enables super-fast DIY installation and offers the same remarkable capabilities for location tracking at a much affordable price.
-
Room-Level Accuracy: Built-in IR transmitter sends room ID for precise location of people and things.
-
Plug-and-Play Compatibility: Out-of-the-box device that integrates wirelessly with enterprises’ existing Wi-Fi infrastructure. No need for cabling or rewiring.
-
Long-Lasting Performance: Boasts an impressive four-year battery life, ensuring that enterprises can rely on its performance without the hassle of frequent battery replacements.
-
BLE Connected, Cloud Managed: Over-the-air (OTA) firmware and configuration updates and monitor device health.
