  Estimote is a proximity and indoor-location company founded in 2012 that designs Bluetooth
  Low Energy, Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and LTE-M/NB-IoT beacons together with the Estimote Cloud
  platform for managing them at fleet scale. The Estimote Cloud REST API lets developers list
  and configure registered devices, attach contextual key/value data (Attachments) to
  individual beacons, and consume events reported by LTE beacons, authenticated with an App ID
  and App Token over HTTP Basic or, in private beta, OAuth 2.0. Native SDKs for iOS, Android,
  React Native and UWB deliver on-device proximity, indoor positioning, secure iBeacon/Eddystone
  broadcasting and beacon fleet management. Estimote is backed by a16z and Homebrew.
