BLE Beacons

Overview

BLE beacons are compact wireless devices designed to transmit Bluetooth Low Energy signals at predefined intervals, enabling precise asset tracking, navigation, and proximity-based services. In the UAE, BLE beacons are revolutionizing sectors such as logistics, healthcare, smart infrastructure, and education by enabling real-time location and presence detection.

Across major cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah, these devices are gaining momentum within smart city initiatives, enhancing intelligent infrastructure, retail engagement, and automation. BLE beacons provide a cost-effective, energy-efficient solution for deploying scalable IoT applications without compromising on accuracy or system reliability.
