I recently (Feb 2014) had the opportunity to evaluate different iBeacon hardware for a project. http://roximity.com http://roximity.com * "ok" price * horrible customer communication * in reality to want to sell you their services and not the iBeacons. * not configurable (proximity id, major, minor) * really long shipping time to europe (4 weeks) https://www.sticknfind.com https://www.sticknfind.com * "ok" price * nice form factor (small) * not really iBeacon compatible. They say you can flash their beacons to make them compatible, but i haven't found out how since their support is not responding. * not configurable (proximity id, major, minor) http://kontakt.io http://kontakt.io * good price * great support * major, minor configurable. proximity id not * form factor kinda bulky * they seem to be able to deliver huge amount of beacons http://www.easibeacon.com http://www.easibeacon.com * great price * great support * nice form factor (same as stickNFind) * fully configurable (proximity id, major, minor) * the company is relatively young Can't say anything about the battery life yet, but the batteries were replaceable in each case.
