Hi Usman,

The nRF51822 Beacon Kit is the only finished beacon product that we sell. This kit is a reference design, that lets you explore the full range of development possibilities for beacons.

We have also created a solar powered sensor beacon example application, that includes schematics, hardware layout, and firmware. This design use the nRF52832, but we only sell the chip and you need to manufacture the board yourself.

You can also create beacon applications using our development kits: nRF51 DK - nRF52 DK - nRF52840 PDK. There are example applications for Eddystone beacons and a general beacon application that can be used for developing iBeacons in our SDK.

There is also many external companies creating beacons using our nRF51 and nRF52 series ICs. Some are ready for deployment, while others might be used for development. You should find multiple alternatives if searching the web!

Best regards,

Jørgen
