Zebra MB1000 Data Networking

Built on Bluetooth low energy technology, Zebra Bluetooth® Beacons1 are compatible with Android/iOS devices and custom hardware, making them ideal for setting up proximity-based location systems quickly and efficiently.Bluetooth for Proximity-Based LocatingToday’s market offers various location technologies, and Bluetooth stands out as a proximity-based technology that easily integrates with mobile application-based or server-based location systems. It’s a cost-effective active RFID solution that enables rapid installation in even the most complex environments, from warehouses to hospitals. Zebra Bluetooth Beacons are available in several physical and digital formats, offering proximity and presence data crucial for solutions like Zebra MotionWorks. Bluetooth becomes the go-to technology when all that is required is general location data, accurate to a small area or room, delivering exceptional value. The low energy consumption of Bluetooth® low energy leads to battery-operated devices that can produce innovative solutions across industries like manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, and retail. Location data collected from the network's edge offers valuable insights into your operational performance. These battery-powered active beacons can last multiple years at an attractive cost. Typically, solutions based on Zebra Bluetooth Beacons include a mix of fixed and/or mobile beacons along with applications that act on the beacon data. The setup can function independently or alongside Zebra MotionWorks solutions. The bridge device that picks up signals can be almost any Android/iOS mobile computer or custom device equipped with a Bluetooth® low energy radio, running the Zebra SDK or a third-party app. For solutions like Zebra MotionWorks, the application also needs the ability to communicate with analytics software via Wi-Fi, LTE, or 3G.
