Abstract

A system and method for rapid room entry are provided in which at least two Bluetooth low energy (BLE) beacons may be used to determine when a BLE enabled object has crossed a boundary. The BLE enabled object may sense the signals from BLE beacon and a location engine may determine the crossing of the boundary based on the sensed signals from each BLE beacon. Each BLE beacon may have a directional antenna so that a portion of the signal having a strong strength is directed towards the boundary and a portion of the signal having a weaker strength is directed away from the boundary.
