Previously when setting up a site with our other systems, it could take an entire day to have the site up and ready to go. With beacons, it can be installed in a few hours, sometimes even less. Obviously our users love this. Site supervisors and managers want as little downtime as possible. The sooner the system can being logging, the better.

Logistics & Transport

Real world use case:

Tegel airport (Berlin)

Thanks to beacon infrastructure, passengers receive a push notification the moment they enter the terminal building with instructions on the fastest route to their gate.

Arriving passengers are welcomed at the baggage carousel and receive tips on free Wi-Fi services or information on using public transport.

Results:By installing and integrating beacons into their technology, airlines and airport increased both passenger satisfaction and productivity

By 2025, the IoT will save an estimated $70 to 150 billion per year in the real estate sector.

Beacons will support this by helping businesses use their space and resources

smarter.
