# Cloud-Based Airport Beacons This Beacon Management System Reduces It Overhead By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2015-12-04 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beacon-management-system References: [businesswire](http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20151202005232/en/Aruba-Delivers-Cloud-Based-Beacon-Management-Announces-App) & [arubanetworks](http://www.arubanetworks.com/products/mobile-engagement/aruba-beacons/) 'Aruba' just announced the release of the first cloud-based beacon management system. In recent years, a number of airports have turned to [beacon technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geofencing-feature) as a means of improving the customer experience. This beacon system is specially designed to reduce IT overhead and make it easier for airports to manage the technology. The 'Aruba Sensor' is a beacon management system that combines a small WiFi client with a [Bluetooth low energy radio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-sensing-technology). This technology allows [airports to manage all beacons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-navigation-system) from a single location, even if they span across multiple networks. The idea is to make it easier and more cost-effective for IT departments to manage and monitor beacon data. This means that IT personnel can monitor battery life, power settings and issue software updates all from a single location. By allowing airports to manage beacons remotely, the Aruba Sensor can ultimately save valuable IT resources and cut down on overhead costs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.4/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Cloud-based Beacon Management:** Implementing a cloud-based beacon management system can streamline IT processes and reduce overhead costs for airports. - **Centralized Beacon Monitoring:** A centralized beacon monitoring system enables IT departments to easily manage beacons across multiple networks, improving efficiency and effectiveness. - **Remote Beacon Management:** Remote beacon management allows for convenient monitoring of beacon data, including battery life, power settings, and software updates, from a single location. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Airports:** Cloud-based beacon management systems offer airports an opportunity to enhance customer experiences while reducing IT overhead costs. - **Information Technology:** Cloud-based beacon management creates disruptive innovation opportunities for IT departments to streamline processes and improve resource allocation. - **Beacon Technology:** The introduction of a cloud-based beacon management system opens up opportunities for the beacon technology industry to expand its market and improve customer satisfaction. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Airport-Assisting Drone Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airport-drone-system.md) - [IoT-Enabled Driving Safety Beacons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sigfox.md) - [Wi-Fi-Enabled Senior Care Sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wifi-sensing.md) - [Inclusive Airport Navigation Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airport-navigations.md) - [Feature-Rich Airport Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byair-app.md) - [IoT Building Management Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/building-management-platform.md) - [Ground Traffic Control Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ground-traffic-control-platform.md) - [Convenient Home Sanitation Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-sanitation-device.md) - [Outdoor Asset Tracking Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asset-tracking-system.md)
