BLE Beacon Power Efficiency:Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons are designed for low power consumption.Their primary function is to periodically broadcast short data packets (advertising their presence).
Other Technologies:
Cellular:More power-hungry due to long-range communication and complex protocols.
GPS:Power intensive,especially when actively tracking location.
Wi-Fi:

GPS? More like G-Waste-of-Battery if you ask me. That thing sucks the life out of your device.
