What is Indoor Tracking
GPS is not available indoors, but location monitoring is often required in places such as:
Mines Airports Bus, Train, and Metro Stations Hospitals Hotels Stadiums School Campuses Museums Warehouses Shopping Malls
Positioning beacons work with the Bluetooth available in the new “e” series MOTOTRBO radios.

Benefits
Employee Safety - In case of an emergency, you will know the location of your employees. This helps minimize response times that could save lives.
Employee Accountability - With an advanced system of rules and alerts, it is possible to configure the route for the patrol of buildings and premises, notifying the dispatcher if there is any deviation from the route.
Easy implementation - data from beacons is transmitted over the radio channel, so no network infrastructure is needed. This ensures a simple and low-cost implementation.
Independent Operation - Proximity beacons operate on batteries, requiring replacement only once every 2 to 3 years depending on configuration.

UUID is the Universally Unique Identifier andconsists of 32 hexadecimal characters in 5groups (must follow 8-4-4-4-12 format)
Major and Minor IDs can be set to a valuebetween 0 and 65535
Transmit Power (Tx) sets the coverage areaof the beacon
Advertising Interval sets how frequently thebeacon transmits its ID
Remaining Battery Life reflects the currentbattery life based on the Transmit Power andAdvertising interval settings (1-3 years)
