• 2015 CES attendees can now navigate exhibit and conference session locations via CES App

The International CES® and Radius Networks announced today that the 2015 CES will feature a new navigation system for attendees, powered by Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons.

The navigation system, accessible through the CES app, will provide attendees with directions to exhibit locations within CES Tech West and Tech East.

“CES is all about innovation and leveraging next-generation technologies,” said Karen Chupka, senior vice president, International CES and corporate business strategy, CEA.

Through the CES app, users can select a CES destination, such as an exhibitor booth.

The app will then show directions from the current position using the BLE beacons placed throughout the show floor.

RadBeacon Config App The RadBeacon App is the configuration utility for RadBeacon proximity beacons and is available for iOS (iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch) as well for OS X. With the RadBeacon app you can scan for nearby, configurable RadBeacons, display the settings for each RadBeacon and make modifications to those settings. Photo courtesy Radius Networks

“We are excited to deploy our new indoor location technologies on such a massive scale,” said Marc Wallace, CEO and co-founder, Radius Networks.
“Radius Networks previously partnered with CES to implement an award-winning scavenger hunt program at the 2014 CES that was designed to drive attendees to key areas of the show floor. Since then, proximity technology and the Internet of Things have taken off. This year, we are excited to demonstrate how easy-to-deploy, low-cost beacons can completely change the way people approach indoor location."
