More and more devices are provided with a BLE tag or smartphones their Bluetooth is used for location-based services. Either way, hardware is needed to link these BLE devices and software to interpret them. There are also specific IoT optimizations within Wi-Fi.
Many access points today have BLE or Zigbee integrated. However, the idea is not to just pass everything through to a central server. The Ruckus IoT suite makes it possible to perform analysis on the BLE/Zigbee data and forward conditional, filtered and interpreted data.
Since day one, Mist has built into their access points a Bluetooth array with 16 antennas. This provides accurate live positioning. Combined with the right software, Juniper Mist can be used as an indoor GPS.
IoT and industrial equipment should be segmented as much as possible according to the appropriate method, preferably even through micro-segmentation. Dynamic, Private or Multi-Preshared Keys help you set this up at the Wi-Fi level.
