Industrial-scale RTLS,

without hundreds of anchors

using low-frequency waves.

BLE is suitable for a single user. On an industrial site, it requires an anchor every 15 to 20 meters, extensive cabling, and a signal that is blocked by metal and concrete. Wheere covers 1 km² with 4 antennas.

INDUSTRIAL-SCALE BLE

BLE is the default choice. Until scaling occurs.

Tags: low-cost, familiar technology, easy PoC. Then the actual site imposes its own constraints—and hidden costs start to surface.

Heavy Infrastructure

BLE location tracking requires a base station every 15 to 20 meters. At an industrial site, this means installing, powering, and maintaining hundreds of anchors.

Hundreds of anchors per site

Cabling & CAPEX Escalation

Each anchor requires power and a network connection. PoE cabling can account for up to 70% of the budget for a BLE deployment project.

Up to 70% of the project budget

Vulnerable signal

The 2.4 GHz signal bounces off obstacles and is absorbed by concrete walls, metal racks, and industrial noise. The result: dead zones in the heart of the production area.

Blocked by metal and concrete

Network Congestion

Two-way communication between tags and anchors becomes overloaded as the number of tracked assets increases. Performance degrades as the fleet grows.

Reduced performance at scale

THE ALTERNATIVE DESIGNED FOR INDUSTRY

Changing the frequency changes everything.

Tags: low-cost, familiar technology, easy PoC. Then the actual site imposes its constraints, and hidden costs start to appear.

📡

Low-frequency penetrating sound

The signal passes through thick concrete and metal structures, where the 2.4 GHz BLE signal is blocked. There are no dead zones in the heart of the site.

Penetrates up to 50 m of concrete

Minimum Infrastructure

Four antennas are enough to cover about 1 km²—compared to one anchor every 15 to 20 meters in BLE. Rapid deployment, without extensive cabling.

4 antennas per ~1 km²

📶

Broadcast mode

One-way tracking: Trackers receive the signal without transmitting it back. No collisions, no saturation—whether you're tracking 10 or 10,000 assets.

Unlimited number of assets tracked

Indoor & Outdoor Accuracy

Metric accuracy both indoors and outdoors, without relying on GPS. A single system for the entire site.

1–3 m · GPS-independent

BLE vs. WHEERE

Two wave functions. Two realities of deployment.

BLE remains a viable option for offices and small warehouses. Wheere is designed for demanding industrial and logistics environments.
