Location services
Connect people, places, and things in a truly intuitive mobile world.
Bridge the gap between digital and physical worlds
Location services are bridging the gap between digital and physical worlds. Using the power of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology, location services help end users navigate indoor locations, locate friends, and even find misplaced assets – all from their mobile devices.
With Aruba location services, your customers gain the power to transform their offices, venues and sites by connecting people with places and things. When they combine Aruba Meridian Apps with Aruba Beacons and Tags, your customers can offer employees and visitors indoor mapping, turn-by-turn directions, asset tracking, and proximity-based notifications. Using this cutting-edge technology, your customers can deliver rich, engaging mobile user experiences, streamline workflows and keep resource utilization at peak productivity.
Aruba Meridian transforms mobile engagement across the entire Wi-Fi infrastructure

Help your customers’ end-users find their place with Aruba Beacons
Aruba Beacons are Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices that power indoor location and wayfinding services, as well as proximity-aware push notifications. These small, low-power wireless transmitters broadcast regular signals that can be recieved by mobile apps on iOS and Android devices.
With a Meridian-powered app on a compatible mobile device, end-users see a glowing blue dot that shows their real-time, indoor location on a map. They can also share their location with colleagues and friends and receive proximity-aware push notifications that deliver key location-aware information.

Make misplaced assets a thing of the past with Aruba Tags
If your customers need to track high-value physical assets –– like retail stock, hospital equipment, or even warehouse pallets ––Aruba Tags are the perfect solution. Based on BLE technology and using location-ready Aruba access points, they help employees find things quickly and with ease. Tracking information is managed by the Meridian platform which allows every asset to be viewed in its true location.
With a small, discreet form factor, Aruba Tags are easy to attach to valued assets. An enclosed battery with a life of 3-4 years ensures that no maintenance is required. And, the Aruba Tags Configuration App allows items to be easily tagged, regardless of where they are located. Staff can associate photos, descriptions and labels to each asset to populate the asset tracking database. Tags can also be moved between assets and re-labelled without bringing them to a central location.
