Blecon Networks

Blecon runs the infrastructure needed to manage Beacons, Hotspots, Networks and Cloud Integrations

Beacon Networks

Blecon provides the Network Core services that act as the fabric of your Beacon Network. 

The Blecon infrastructure authenticates and admits Beacons and Hotspots, enforces policies, synchronises time, provides geolocation, and routes data securely into your applications. 

Whether your deployment uses Basic Beacons or Smart Beacons, proprietary vendor devices or Embedded Beacons, Blecon ensures a consistent way to integratie and manage them

Data flows to your applications via open API’s and dedicated integrations. Use it to power dashboards, trigger alerts, drive inventory systems or feed analytics and AI.

Manage at Scale

Operating Beacon Networks requires observability and control. Blecon provides tools to support Network Management.

Global Management
Centralised visibility and configuration across multiple sites.

Hotspot Health
Monitor and maintain the infrastructure your network depends on.

Workflows Tools
Onboard, commission and integrate devices directly into workflows.

Together, these provide a complete operational layer for running Beacon Networks at scale.

Observability

Beacon Mobility

As Beacons do not need to pair with Hotspots, they can use different Hotspots at different times. This is transparently managed by the network, enabling a diversity of scenarios with a simplicity of architecture.

A common use case this enables is for a device to be moving around geographically, logging events and measurements, and then uploading to synchronise its data when it comes in range of a Hotspot.

Blecon Networks enabled Smart Beacons to synchronise global time, so it becomes simple to timestamp events and them become eventually consistent in a database - even across devices.

Device Mobility

Hotspot Mobility

The network architecture also enables Hotspots to move around, spotting different Beacons and servicing Smart Beacon requests as they come into range.

This model is powerful given the ability to enable phones, tablets and laptops as Hotspots. Not only are these mobile devices often already purchased and deployed with front-line staff so they can easily be enabled as a network, but their movement around sites enables a much greater effective coverage than with fixed hotspots.

Hotspot Mobility

Designed for Integration

Blecon is designed for integration. Messages and requests from Beacons are routed to your backend services.

Blecon supports pre-built integrations into different systems, and open APIs to deliver HTTP(S) JSON requests to cloud endpoints; how you respond, store and work with your data is up to you.

Different requests can be routed to different services to handle different functions e.g. Product Analytics, Marketing Insights, Sensor Telematics or Engineering Diagnostics.

Once in your cloud, Beacons become another data source. They feed databases, dashboards, AI, triggers, and bespoke applications. 

Blecon ensures data arrives reliably and securely. What you build on top is entirely yours.
