Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) is a type of wireless location technology that has become popular for use within Real-Time Location System (RTLS) solutions. RTLS is used to automatically identify and track the location of objects or people in real-time. With this type of asset tracking platform, businesses can then use real-time location data to drive […]
According to the UN, 70% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050. As part of this, the number of smart cities is expected to grow by double digits over the coming years. By combining data and digital technology, “smart” cities can improve key quality-of-life indicators by 10 to 30%. A critical enabler will be the […]
More and more companies looking for turnkey managed solutions for their IoT technologies, to not only secure their applications but also comply with data security regulations, says Adam Weinberg, co-founder & CTO, FirstPoint Mobile Guard.
