Irving, Texas-based Apptricity has introduced a new 20-mile ultra long-range bluetooth beacon. 

The new bluetooth beacon is the longest-ranging secure connection on the market, with the ability to transmit data up to 20 miles outdoors and penetrate up to 20 floors indoors, according to a news release.

“Our new 20-Mile Ultra Range Bluetooth is a significant technology breakthrough,” Tim Garcia, CEO of Apptricity, said in the release.  

“Many of our global customers were struggling with the range and costs of connecting most of their internet of things assets, so I challenged our engineers to develop a lower cost Bluetooth tracking solution that could cover at least 10 miles. 

“They exceeded expectations. We were able to pick up the signal from over 20 miles, and are working with our engineers to see how much further we can take this technology.”

The 20-Mile Ultra Long-Range Bluetooth is an advanced Bluetooth 5 technology, according to the release. 

The beacon has selectable range from 10 to 20 miles and includes a replaceable battery, according to the release.

The Ultra Long-Range Bluetooth Beacon can be created with or without GPS, multiple battery options exist to extend life and encryption options are available.
