Bluetooth location services are often mistaken by consumers for being just a single technology. In fact, Bluetooth technology can bring a variety of different positioning methods, it can achieve a variety of precision position solutions from simple presence detection to reliable centimeter-level positioning. In addition, with global popularity and mass market economies of scale, the Bluetooth standard has advantages over other positioning technologies.

The link between flexibility and versatility
Bluetooth technology has proven to be the technology of choice for location service solution providers.
Bluetooth technology stands out from these technologies by virtue of its cost and global penetration and interoperability among billions of devices, and systems enabled by Bluetooth technology can sometimes even add new functionality through a simple software update. Due to the huge economies of scale of Bluetooth technology, suppliers are able to purchase hardware components at prices far lower than other technologies, which will be directly reflected in the cost of the final product and the value of serving the end customer. In addition, a large number of off-the-shelf Bluetooth components provide a huge space for solution design for almost all application scenarios and products. These solutions all operate on the global 2.4GHz ISM band, enabling true global adoption.

At the same time, Bluetooth technology is also evolving, especially Bluetooth location services. The first version of Bluetooth location services was the Bluetooth beacon introduced around 2010. Bluetooth beacons use power measurement (RSSI) to locate moving objects, which can be thought of as Bluetooth location services version 1.0. Today, with the introduction of Bluetooth direction finding (included in Bluetooth Core Specification version 5.1), Bluetooth technology enables manufacturers to introduce more accurate and reliable location services, and Bluetooth direction finding can therefore be considered Bluetooth location services version 2.0. 

Reasons to choose Bluetooth technology
The flexibility of Bluetooth technology covers multiple dimensions such as economics, market penetration and range of positioning options. Bluetooth technology has many different dimensions of flexibility, so Quuppa chose Bluetooth technology as our solution after careful analysis. With Bluetooth technology, we can build versatile, cost-effective products that have all the attributes needed to win the market.

From cost-effective proximity solutions (based on RSSI) to highly accurate, scalable and stable solutions in the latest Bluetooth direction-finding capabilities, Bluetooth location services have evolved over the years to offer a wealth of options. A new Bluetooth ranging function (high-precision distance measurement) is also coming soon. Therefore, when describing the accuracy of the Bluetooth location service, it should be clear which application it is first, and different applications have completely different accuracy.
