BC03 Indoor Bluetooth Beacon Introduction
SenseCAP BC03 Indoor Bluetooth Beacon is a small wireless device that transmits Bluetooth signals at regular intervals. These signals can be detected by Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as SenseCAP T1000 Tracker, SenseCAP T2000 Tracker, allowing them to determine their proximity to the beacon, building a location-based solution for indoor positioning, asset tracking and other applications, which enabling proximity detection and meter-level indoor positioning.
Bluetooth Indoor Positioning System
GPS works well outdoors, but its performance is limited indoors. By deploying BC03 Bluetooth beacons in indoor environments, SenseCAP trackers can scan beacon signals and estimate distances based on RSSI values. Combined with positioning algorithms, this enables meter-level indoor positioning accuracy (approximately 2–3 meters).
Typical application scenarios include:
- Asset tracking
- Personnel positioning
- Route analysis
- Indoor navigation
The solution can be integrated into cloud platforms, mobile applications, and mini-programs.
We provide a open-source Bluetooth indoor positioning system designed to work seamlessly with SenseCAP BLE Beacons and SenseCAP LoRaWAN Trackers. This solution is fully open-source and customizable, allowing users to build, modify, and integrate their own backend services based on our GitHub repository.
