As I have expressing my views, Bluetooth 4.0 and now since it has been adopted in virtually all the mobile devices is changing the game. Hat’s off to Aruba to stepping out there and making real innovation happen!
Aruba Beacons leverage Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) technology to power indoor location and wayfinding, proximity-aware push notifications, and other location-based mobile engagement services for enterprise venues.
Small, low-power wireless transmitters, Aruba Beacons broadcast radio signals at regular intervals that can be heard and interpreted by compatible iOS and Android devices equipped with Meridian-powered mobile apps from Aruba.
Put a glowing blue dot on your venue map
Take your interactive venue maps in your Meridian-powered mobile app to a whole new level using Aruba Beacons. Together, they enable your guests to see their exact location within your venue and get turn-by-turn directions to products and services that are closest to them.
Send location-based push notifications
Using real-time location data from Aruba Beacons, venues can deliver personally-relevant promotions to mobile app users that opt-in. This enables venues to deliver powerful context-aware mobile marketing campaigns that strengthen engagement and upsell more products and services.
Configure and move beacons on the fly
For management, the Aruba Beacons mobile app makes initial setup a breeze. It pulls venue-specific content from the Meridian Editor content management system so you can walk through your property to install and configure Aruba Beacons from a mobile device.
Manage beacons from the cloud
Aruba’s best-in-class Wi-Fi infrastructure makes it easy to manage Aruba Beacon settings and battery life from any location. Just plug an Aruba USB Beacon into an Aruba AP to monitor other beacons within range and send relevant management data to the cloud-based Meridian Editor.
