HID Global & Mist Systems Collaborate to Drive Innovation for IoT With BLE Location Services
HID Global, a leader in trusted identity solutions, and Mist Systems, a pioneer in self-learning wireless networks powered by artificial intelligence (AI), are working together to converge Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)-based location services with Wireless LAN (WLAN) infrastructure for better deployment, management, and operations of IoT devices.
With HID Location Services enabled by Bluvision, HID Global is leading innovation in the IoT space with sensor beacons for workflow and event management, the company described. The Mist Learning WLAN is a single, converged cloud-based microservices platform for Wi-Fi and BLE indoor location services, eliminating the need for expensive overlay platforms and battery powered gateways for asset location and user engagement. The combined solution provides a simple architecture for scalable IoT asset tracking and management that reduces costs, eliminates complexity, and fosters rapid adoption across organizational functions and use cases.
