Bluetooth Beacons

Innovative Bluetooth® Low Energy Technology Devices for Location Solutions

Zebra Bluetooth® Beacons

are built upon Bluetooth low energy technology and operate in

conjunction with commercial Android/iOS devices or custom devices to form the foundation of easily

deployable proximity-based location solutions.

Bluetooth-based Location Technology

There are many different location technologies on the market today. Bluetooth is a proximity-based

location technology that integrates easily with mobile device-based applications or with server-based

location solutions. It’s a low-cost, active RFID technology that allows for extremely fast installation,

even in fairly complex environments, like warehouses, factories, and hospitals. Zebra Bluetooth

Beacons feature a variety of physical and digital configurations to provide presence and proximity-

based location data as part of solutions like Zebra MotionWorks. When general location information

(down to a small zone or room) is all that is needed to solve your business problem, Bluetooth is the

ideal technology and a tremendous value.

The low power consumption of Bluetooth® low energy technology is the catalyst for battery-powered

devices that can be used to create innovative solutions for industries including manufacturing,

transportation and logistics, healthcare and retail. Location data from the edge of the network

provides valuable information about how your operation is actually performing. The battery-operated

active beacons can run for multiple years at cost points that are compelling.

Zebra Bluetooth Beacon-based solutions generally include a combination of fixed and/or mobile

beacons combined with some type of application receiving and acting upon the beacon information.

The system can be a stand-alone application that uses these beacons, or used in conjunction with

Zebra MotionWorks solutions. The bridge device (that hears the beacons) can be almost any type of

Android or iOS mobile computer or smartphone, or a custom device that has a Bluetooth® low energy

radio and is running the Zebra SDK or third-party application. As part of a location solution like Zebra

MotionWorks, the application must also have the ability to communicate with the analytics software

(i.e. Wi-Fi, LTE, 3G etc.).
