What are BLE Beacons?

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons are small, battery-powered wireless devices that communicate with GPS trackers over short distances (up to 30 metres). They enable a wide range of monitoring applications that traditional GPS alone cannot provide.

BLE Applications in Fleet Management

1. Driver Identification

2. Wireless Temperature Sensors

BLE temperature probes installed in cargo compartments transmit readings to the GPS tracker wirelessly:

3. Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPMS)

4. Door and Cargo Sensors

5. Trailer and Asset Tracking
