Beacon & Location Solutions
Know where your people and critical assets are, in real time.
Beacons turn your facility into a location-aware environment. We design indoor positioning systems that track critical equipment, help staff call for help with their exact location, account for everyone during an evacuation and alert you when assets leave approved zones.

FAQ
Common questions
How accurate are beacon systems?
Bluetooth Low Energy typically locates to a room or zone, while Ultra-Wideband can reach sub-meter accuracy. We match the technology to the accuracy your use case actually needs.
Can beacons be spoofed?
Basic beacons can be. We select hardware with secure identifiers and configure the system so spoofed signals do not trigger false access or hide real movement.
