Bluetooth is everywhere. BlueFinder is a prototype hardware/software platform that enables limited-range location tracking of Bluetooth devices without requiring any additional information from GPS, Wi-fi, etc.

It can be used as a supplement to location-tracking using other signals or all on it's own.

​Use cases:

• Tracking and analysis of ad-hoc gatherings of customers in a restricted location

• Tracking, tallying, and management of workers or assets in a workplace

Why use Bluetooth over GPS or Wi-fi location tracking?

• Wi-fi uses more power. GPS is notorious for draining batteries. If your use case is in a small-to-medium area controlled environment the Bluetooth transmitter you already have in your devices or a cheap stick-on Bluetooth tracker may be all you need.

• GPS reception can be spotty or nonexistent indoors.
