What is the actual product/technology behind KastlePresence? It works off of low energy Bluetooth...which could be any technology...even Apple's Beacons work of low energy Bluetooth technology. Does KastlePresence really have a product/software/user app they made in-house, or is this something they are OEM'ing? I'm also wondering if this technology is effective for a business. It does not solve piggy-backing or someone stealing your phone, or does it? What is the occupancy chart actually for? Does it also show visitors with smartphones or just employees? If just employees, then this would have to be a special niche use. Is this just one of those technology gimmicks that looks cool to people at first and they buy it, then realize it has really no use? Or does this have a place? What makes this different than current NFC access products besides the technology difference and the branding?
It looks like they are using technology that was built for marketing and tracking and using it for security. Are they on to something? Or is this a IoT gimmick?
I have seen a lot of articles about this with all the standard trade mags (Online version) in the past 5 months. Unfortunately, you can never find a true spec sheet with it.
