Beacon tracking

Hello all,

can nRF51822 Bluetooth Smart Beacon Kit supports real time asset/person tracking, if yes where we can get the details on programming?

Hi,

We don’t have any specific examples for this. Whether it is possible to do indoor positioning with BLE depends on how accurate you need the system to be. BLE is mostly suitable for detecting whether a device is in a specific room or if it's near or far. That said, we have companies that have been able to do indoor navigation with BLE beacons with +/-3m accuracy. See this news article on that.
