iBeacon for the Specific Problem GPS Can't Solve

GPS doesn't work reliably indoors, which is exactly the gap iBeacon and Bluetooth Low Energy technology fills — precise indoor location and proximity detection for retail stores, event venues, and large facilities. It's a narrow but genuinely useful technology when the use case calls for it specifically. We've built iBeacon-based systems for Austin retail environments running proximity marketing and event venues needing indoor wayfinding.

Typical Use Cases

Practical Deployment, Not Just a Pilot

Beacon deployments fail in practice more often from poor physical placement and battery management than from software issues. We plan physical deployment logistics as carefully as the application itself.

Our iBeacon Technical Depth

Software and physical deployment planning together, since both determine real-world success.

Proximity Application Development

Mobile app functionality that responds accurately to beacon proximity, tuned to avoid false triggers.
