All Estimote beacons share the same proximity UUID unless changed. If you use Estimote Android SDK, then default proximity UUID is declared in com.estimote.sdk.utils.EstimoteBeacons.ESTIMOTE_PROXIMITY_UUID (B9407F30-F5F8-466E-AFF9-25556B57FE6D).

Using Estimote Android SDK you can start ranging without knowing proximity UUID. See Demos from SDK (in particlar ListBeaconsActivity) and note that you can declare region as follows: 

private static final Region ALL_ESTIMOTE_BEACONS_REGION = new Region("rid", null, null, null);
