What are Bluetooth Beacon Trackers?
GoCodes Bluetooth beacon trackers are small, battery powered BLE 5.0 devices that automatically broadcast asset location information to nearby smartphones within a 100 meter range.
Unlike QR codes that require manual scanning, beacons continuously transmit their location using Bluetooth Low Energy technology.
Each beacon costs $25, weighs just 25 grams, and features IP65 waterproof construction with a 4+ year replaceable battery.
Beacons include Guardian mode for theft alerts, complete location history tracking, and optional Gateway hardware to extend coverage across larger facilities.
How it Works
Indoor Asset Location Without Manual Scanning
Bluetooth beacons use radio technology to automatically identify and locate your
assets. No walking around looking for equipment or opening boxes to find tools.

Attach Beacons
Mount small, durable beacons on tools, equipment, bins, or inventory. Adhesive backing or mounting holes for any surface.
Beacons Broadcast
Beacons continuously transmit Bluetooth Low Energy signals to any nearby smartphone or Gateway device within 100 meters.

Location Updates
Your smartphone automatically receives location data. See all nearby assets on a map without scanning each one individually.

How does BLE beacon location tracking work?
GoCodes beacons use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5.0 technology to continuously broadcast a unique identifier signal. Any smartphone running the GoCodes app within 300 feet automatically detects the beacon and records its location. The beacon broadcasts its identity and distance from your phone. When you walk through a facility, your smartphone automatically discovers and updates all nearby beacon tagged assets without manual scanning.
What is the range of Bluetooth beacon trackers?
GoCodes Bluetooth beacons have a detection range of up to 100 meters or 300 feet. This range is ideal for warehouses, storage facilities, tool rooms and indoor environments. For larger facilities, the optional GoCodes Gateway device can extend coverage across multiple zones by continuously monitoring all nearby beacons and reporting their locations automatically.
How long do Bluetooth beacon batteries last?
GoCodes Bluetooth beacons have a battery life of 4+ years with normal use. The beacons use a standard CR 2477 coin cell battery that you can replace yourself when needed. BLE 5.0 Low Energy technology minimizes power consumption while maintaining reliable signal broadcast for asset detection.
