In this video, I'll unpack all the basics of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Real Time Location Systems (RTLS). We’ll walk through everything you need to know about RTLS as a developer and how to decide between using RSSI and direction finding. Stick around to the end of the video for a step-by-step demo of how to set up a Direction Finding system using Silicon Labs’ Antenna Array Solution!
