IN100 NanoBeacon™

NanoBeacon™ Technology — Redefining Bluetooth Beacons

Winner of RFID Journal's 2021 & 2023 Best New Product Award

NanoBeacon™ SoC Family

The First of its Kind

The NanoBeacon™ chipset family is the first of its kind SoC family that is set to redefine Bluetooth beacons, with a focus on beacons, active RFID, and wireless sensor applications.

The IN100 is InPlay's breakthrough SoC that will redefine the future of IIoT applications. IN100 integrates with the latest Bluetooth 5.3 technology and features a firmware-less design, allowing you to focus on what matters most: building and scaling your wireless applications.

"InPlay's BLE technology is designed to allow easy setup of a real-time location system with markers that would cost a few dollars and could be interrogated by a gateway, tablet or smartphone from hundreds of meters away."
