2. The Inspiration
As smart devices and apps have improved many facets of consumers’ lives for several years now, people are
now looking to use them to control their own environments. What if your phone could control your house or
business to protect your family or improve efficiency? oort’s goal is to empower consumers to build their
own Internet of Things connected worlds.
oort is the first complete universal wireless Internet of Things BTLE iBeacon system
3. The Technology
To enable devices to communicate, oort utilizes Bluetooth low energy (BTLE) and iBeacon. BTLE is poised to
become the platform-of-choice of the Internet of Things (IoT) due to its low energy footprint, cross-platform
accessibility and widespread use in devices that consumers already own. iBeacon, an indoor positioning
and notification technology created by Apple, is currently experiencing rapid adoption. With all iOS 7+ and
Android 4.3+ devices supporting the technologies, it is interoperable with the vast majority of new smart
devices on the market.
