BLE Beacons

Overview

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Beacons are compact wireless devices designed to broadcast signals to nearby Bluetooth-enabled devices, enabling location tracking, proximity detection, and data communication. These devices play a significant role in digital transformation strategies across sectors such as retail, healthcare, transportation, and manufacturing. In Israel, BLE Beacons are increasingly adopted for intelligent infrastructure, smart cities, and industry 4.0 applications, thanks to their cost-efficiency, long battery life, and minimal maintenance requirements. Their seamless integration with mobile devices and IoT platforms makes them a top choice for real-time interaction and asset monitoring across various environments.
