Software enables passive Bluetooth tracking using existing mobile devices

February 9, 2026 By Puja Mitra Leave a Comment

The Blecon Agent from Blecon is a software solution that converts Zebra Technologies’ frontline devices into a distributed Bluetooth Low Energy tracking network by activating their built-in Bluetooth radios. The agent enables continuous, infrastructure-free asset visibility for BLE sensors and labels across logistics and supply chain operations, eliminating the need for manual scanning, cellular trackers or fixed readers. Designed to run passively in the background, it supports large-scale deployment across existing device fleets and integrates with backend systems to provide real-time location and movement data.
