ConnectX tracks and verifies the location of any BLE-tagged asset on the Nodle network. Millions of smartphones already in the field act as readers. Any asset within range is detected, located, and logged automatically to an immutable activity ledger.

Protocol
BLE · Open standard
ConnectX is hardware agnostic. Use Nodle beacons, your own BLE hardware, or devices already in the field.
Setup
Provision then deploy
Devices are provisioned through the ConnectX Dashboard before deployment. Once provisioned, attach to any asset and the network detects it automatically.
Integration
On the network in less than an hour, not quarters
● Path 01 · Hardware
Beacon deployment
Provision your BLE devices through the ConnectX Dashboard. Once provisioned, attach a beacon to any asset. The Nodle network picks it up automatically when any active device comes within range. — Provision devices through the ConnectX Dashboard — Attach to asset. Peel and stick or industrial adhesive — Network detects within range of any active device — Location events appear in your ConnectX dashboard or your own system via API
● Path 02 · Software
SDK integration
Embed the Nodle SDK in your existing iOS or Android app. The SDK handles BLE scanning in the background, detects nearby beacons, and routes location events to your ConnectX account as sightings occur. — Add SDK dependency to your project — Initialize with your ConnectX API key — SDK handles BLE scanning, event reporting, and privacy compliance — Location data routed to your ConnectX account as devices pass within range

"Cross-border recoveries are now realistic, in large part because of the reach of the Nodle network"
Roole attaches BLE beacons to vehicles. When a vehicle is reported stolen, every Nodle-enabled smartphone within range detects the beacon and reports its location to Roole automatically. No GPS module, no cellular contract, no fixed reader infrastructure. The recovery rate is 40%.
