[All CWISA-103 Questions]

Which one of the following location tracking technologies is most energy efficient in typical implementations?

ABLE Beacons

BCellular

CGPS

DWi-Fi

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

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:

Wi-Fi? Really? That's like trying to power a rocket ship with a hamster on a wheel.

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