Aruba Beacons provide location services, either built into APs or as standalone devices. When used in conjunction with the Meridian mobile app platform, they enable public- facing enterprises to infuse their mobile apps with innovative, location-based services.
Aruba Beacons leverage Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) technology, the current version is Bluetooth 5.0, to provide indoor location data for mobile devices. This data is critical for indoor wayfinding, proximity-aware notifications, and other types of location services in mobile apps. ARUBA BEACONS Small, low-power wireless transmitters, Aruba Beacons broadcast 2.4-GHz radio signals at regular intervals. Beacons can be heard and interpreted by iOS and Android devices that are also equipped with Meridian-powered mobile apps.

Aruba Beacons come in two physical formats. All newer Aruba Access Points (AP) have beacons built in. Standalone
battery powered Aruba Beacons can be placed anywhere within a venue.
When a mobile device with a Meridian-powered app is within range of Aruba Beacons, guests can receive personalized, Aruba Beacons proximity-aware notifications based on their opt-in preferences and see a glowing blue dot that shows their real-time location on a venue's map.
ARUBA BEACONS CONFIGURABILITY
All Aruba Beacons can be configured for either location- based wayfinding or for proximity-aware notifications so that corresponding actions are triggered on a venue's Meridian- powered mobile app.
