Abstract
Described herein are systems, methods and computer program products for controlling operation of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices, such as wireless beacons. Multiple BLE devices may be controlled centrally or may work together in a cooperative fashion such that signals can be exchanged between or repeated by BLE devices in order to allow for signals received at one BLE device to reach another BLE device without requiring further central interaction. Power settings of BLE devices may be altered to change power consumption or to change a detectable range of the BLE devices.
