• Bluetooth Location Services device growth will trend upward over the next five years
• 480 million annual Bluetooth Location Services device shipment by 2025
• 32% CAGR in Bluetooth Location Services devices from 2021 through 2025
• 516,000 implementation of Bluetooth RTLS asset tracking use cases by 2025
• 100% of all smartphone rely on Bluetooth technology today
• Momentum:
– Bluetooth asset tracking will be the leading use case for location services
– Bluetooth direction finding will accelerate indoor positioning
– Bluetooth technology turns the smartphone into a digital key
– Companies are rolling out Bluetooth automotive services and solutions with “phone as fob” for keyless
entry in commercial and consumer transportation solutions.
– World is looking to Bluetooth for solutions in exposure notification, efficient testing and Covid-compliant social
distancing requirements (building capacity and density) for reopening large venues, buildings and businesses.
Quick data on Bluetooth location services
Bluetooth SIG Proprietary 13* source: ABI ResearchApril 14, 2021
item finding(e.g. property tags)
point of interest(e.g. proximity marketing)
proximity solutions
Proximity solutions leverage Bluetooth to
determine the location of two devices
relative to each other.
Today, they can determine if two devices
are near each other, approximately how
close and direction of the signal.

Bluetooth location services solutions
positioning systems
Positioning systems leverage Bluetooth to
determine the physical location of devices.
Today, they can determine the location of a
device with “centimeter” level accuracy
asset tracking(e.g. RTLS)
indoor positioning(e.g. wayfinding)
safety & security(e.g. access control, occupancy)

1. Consumers know and trust Bluetooth*
– Bluetooth in 100% of smartphones today.
– 87% of all new cars, trucks and SUVs have Bluetooth as a standard feature
– 2/3 of all vehicles on the road, worldwide, will have Bluetooth inside by 2024
2. OEMs use the same trusted Bluetooth technology for multiple in-car and out-of-car use cases
– Very low power and getting lower
– Feature roadmap continues to expand
3. Interoperability is a cornerstone for Bluetooth
– World class spec process, interoperability and qualification programs
– Collaborative relationships with automotive industry groups (CE4A, JASPAR, Thatcham, CCC, etc.)
4. Active pipeline and multi-vendor ecosystem
– Robust specification pipeline for future automotive use cases: Keyless Entry, Sensor Networks, Audio, etc.

Meeting or exceeding industry solution requirements:
❑ Security: Satisfy industry requirements (e.g. range extension, relay attacks, etc.)
❑ Accuracy: In-car and out-of-car determination
❑ Resilience: Accuracy in multi-path, multi-point and “body blocking” environments
❑ Latency: Support for approaching and moving objects (walking, running)
❑ Interoperability: Multi-vendor, multi-supplier, phone penetration
❑ Scalability: Coexistence with other wireless technologies in the car
❑ Range: Flexible and secure for long and short-range communications
❑ Multi-function: Additional use case compatibility through a single connection
Bluetooth keyless entry (design principles)
Bluetooth SIG Proprietary 17
In-market platform demonstrations highlight many of these principals.

Today: RSSI based positioning systems
RSSI-only Approach:
– Fixed locators deployed on the car
– Fobs/Phone periodically advertises presence
– Locators estimate their distance to fob they hear
– Car takes action, based on user’s interaction (lock, unlock, open, etc.)
– Delivers meter-level accuracy
Keyless Entryusing signal strength
Direction Findingadding antenna data
Add Direction Finding Approach:
– Angle of arrival and angle of departure determination
– No additional HW requirements from tags and mobile phone platform
– Cost effective scale and accuracy
– Delivers centimeter-level accuracy
