The educational services industry is a sector that provides educational instruction and training to individuals of all ages. It includes public and private schools, colleges, universities, trade schools, tutoring services, online learning platforms, and other educational institutions. GAO's BLE beacons and gateways can provide numerous advantages for the educational services industry, such as:

• Asset tracking:  GAO BLE beacons can help track assets that are frequently used by students and staff, such as laptops, projectors, tablets, e-readers, microphones, speakers, cameras, desks, and chairs. Attaching a beacon to an asset allows the system to track its location and reduce loss or theft.
• Access control: Educational institutions can use our BLE solutions to create geofences around restricted areas or danger zones and receive real-time alerts when someone enters these areas.
• People tracking: Our BLE beacons can track the location of students, faculty, and staff using wearable devices such as Bluetooth wristbands or badges. This can be useful for emergency response, evacuation procedures, attendance-taking, and improving engagement.
• Parking control: By installing GAO’s BLE gateway in designated parking areas, the local or cloud server can detect when a bus with our BLE beacon enters or exits the parking lot. This can help parking managers make data-driven decisions and improve parking operations in educational institutions.
• Environmental monitoring: GAO BLE beacons can monitor temperature, humidity, air quality, and other environmental factors in real time in classrooms and other school buildings. This information can be used to improve building performance, andenergy efficiency, and promote a healthy learning environment.
• Navigation: By placing our BLE beacons at various locations in buildings, a smartphone app can provide students with real-time location information and turn-by-turn directions to their desired destination. This can help students, staff, and visitors navigate large, complex buildings and find their way to specific classrooms, libraries, offices, or other locations on campus.
