Bluetooth Tracking Devices

Datalink Technologies asset control utilises Bluetooth technology to send data to the asset control platform resulting in a cost effective, power saving solution. With local hardware support and the ability to customize a flexible solution, Bluetooth powered asset control will ensure your organization can accurately track and report on asset management.

Bluetooth tracking devices are usually recommended for indoor use due to the fact that Bluetooth technology relies on the device itself (the beacon) to send a signal to the receiver (the relay) and so the two must be within a close proximity of each other (about 30 or 40 meters). Therefore they are not suggested for the use of theft prevention as once the beacon is far enough away from the relay then GPS tracking will cease to exist. Applications where they are most useful would be in hospitals or schools where equipment needs to be monitored and easily found within the property that is kept. So in order for the asset to be tracked it needs to stay within ranges of the relay devices. For other types of asset tracking you could GPS Asset tracking (battery required) and management or GPS vehicle tracking & fleet management (self powered assets). GPS tracking works on a different technology that can help you locate an asset anywhere on the planet as it does not use a relay to tracking to find the asset.
