Estimote

Estimote Creates Small Wireless Sensors That Use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to Detect the Location of Nearby Smartphones and Communicate with Them Using Their Developed API, Allowing Developers to Easily Add Micro-Location Features to Their Mobile Apps.Their Estimote Beacons or 'Motes' Can Run for Up to Two Years on a Single Button Cell Battery and Can Communicate with Smartphones as Close as Four Inches or as Far as 160 Feet (50 Meters). By Using Estimote's SDK, Developers Also Gain Access to a Centralized Dashboard on the Estimote Website.Using Their Platform, Developers and Retailers Can Leverage Analytics Collected from Multiple Sensors in Stores to Optimize Product Placement, Provide Indoor Navigation, Engage in Proximity Marketing, Add Automatic Check-Ins, and Even Enable Contactless Payments.Their Sensors Are Already Being Used by Major Retailers in Europe, and They Are Working to Build a Large Sensor Network in the United States.
