Kontakt.io beacon hardware and software company (opens in new tab)

I'm rather confused about the capabilities... the terms BLE and (i)Beacon seem to get mixed up several times on the website. So are there any benefits compared to other iBeacon provider (e.g. Roximity , which also comes with an API and Admin panel..)?

I really would love to see full-BLE enabled devices (GATT etc).

Edit: I stumbled upon the following sentence: "Once setup, Beacons will continuously broadcast a signal (similar to a radio station) to create a mesh network connected to our platform and API."

Is a bunch of emitting beacons _really_ a mesh network?

Their product is nice, but I'm waiting for it to improve. It isn't so much the functionality, but the quality of iBeacon itself. It rattles if you shake it, unlike any other Beacons we've tested. There isn't much weight to it and there is tons a wasted space. I know these things shouldn't be heavy, but they should feel like a nice product. I'd prefer not to be locked into their system, but I understand why they do it. My company has just preferred working with Accent Systems, but if Kontakt becomes less restrictive then we would reconsider them.

Not to be confused with audio software plugin with the same name - http://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/sampl...

Congratulations to the team! Heard many good things about kontakt.io - we're about to testdrive various BLE vendors for an assistance platform for the elderly and will certainly give them a shot.

Does Native Instruments have a problem with the name?
