With a range of up to 100 meters the compact MapLarge BLE Beacon can comfortably fit in a user's pocket or be placed in the field to automate critical tasks, enhance safety and security, and improve customer experience with the MapLarge BLE Beacon. BLE beacons may be used to map the location of people, products and assets within a fixed environment, automatically triggering actions and notifications, and reducing the need for manual input. The MapLarge BLE Beacon is a small, ruggedized sensing device designed for seamless integration with the MapLarge software platform. The device comes configured with onboard motion, temperature and humidity sensors as well as an advanced magnetic sensor used to monitor door and window contacts. The beacon can be automatically detected by any device running the MapLarge mobile app, or by a nearby MapLarge Asset Tracker running in gateway mode. MapLarge BLE Beacons may also be configured in a mesh network using Thread technology.
