Gimbal Bluetooth iBeacon Advertising

Gimbal iBeacons

Below are some packet captures from the Gimbal Proxmity Beacon Series 10. These are advertisements from two devices.

First 5 seconds

For the first five seconds the devices appear to broadcast their Bluetooth addresses. Notice the AdvA for each of the following two captures:

The BlueScan Android app shows these as:

Then after 5 seconds...

Each device starts the following broadcasts.

The ADV_NONCONN_IND advertisement is an undirected broadcast that is not connectable, nor is it scanable (i.e. it won't respond to a SCAN_REQ in response to an advertisement).
