Bluetooth technology is evolving fast — and that’s great news for location intelligence.

According to the latest Bluetooth SIG 2024–2025 technology update, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is entering a new era. What started as a low-power communication standard has become a powerful tool for real-time location services (RTLS), driving new levels of visibility and insight across healthcare, senior living, and enterprise environments.

BLE’s Next Chapter: Smarter, More Precise, and More Efficient

The Bluetooth SIG highlights several major advances that directly impact how organizations can use BLE for patient workflow and safety:

  • Improved precision: Emerging features like direction finding and enhanced angle of arrival bring greater accuracy, helping teams pinpoint equipment and people faster also accurate data!
  • Cable Free: New optimizations make BLE devices even more energy efficient, reducing maintenance and extending deployment cycles.
  • Mass adoption: Nearly every new Bluetooth-enabled device now supports BLE, making the technology ubiquitous across consumer and enterprise ecosystems.
  • Broader use cases at a lower cost: From hospitals to smart campuses, BLE is powering applications that rely on spatial awareness and connected intelligence with a lower cost per tag.

These enhancements make BLE not just a cost-effective choice — but a strategic foundation for next-generation visibility platforms like ZulaFly.

Why It Matters for ZulaFly Customers

At ZulaFly, we see BLE’s continued evolution as validation of what our platform already delivers: real-time insight, efficiency, and safety at scale.

As the Bluetooth ecosystem matures, our customers can expect even more precise location data, longer device lifespans, and stronger interoperability across networks and devices.

We’re building our technology roadmap to align with these advancements — ensuring that ZulaFly continues to give hospitals, senior living facilities, and enterprises the tools they need to operate smarter and safer, every day.
