Why You Should Choose BLE Instead of UWB for Commercial Asset Tracking | Blog Link Labs

There are a variety of wireless location technologies that can be used in different asset tracking platforms. Some examples include Ultra-Wideband (UWB), GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). Although there are different benefits to each, one of the best options enterprises can use for indoor commercial asset tracking is Bluetooth.  Bluetooth has improved over the years by providing an even longer-lasting battery life while maintaining its precision value-add.  This version, referred to as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), is the go-to choice for commercial-grade asset tracking because of its low cost and long battery life. Let’s take a deeper look at why enterprises should consider BLE over UWB for commercial asset tracking.
