Radius Networks Partners with LevelUp to Deliver Proximity-Enabled Mobile Payments
Washington, DC (PRWEB) October 15, 2014 -- Radius Networks, Inc., the leading provider of mobile proximity services, today announced that it has partnered with LevelUp, the nation's leading mobile payment network. LevelUp will incorporate Radius Networks’ RadBeacon proximity beacons with iBeacon and AltBeacon technology to deliver enhanced, proximity-enabled payment and customer loyalty capabilities to it’s network of over 1.5 million users and 14,000 accepting business locations.
Proximity beacons are Bluetooth Low Energy transmitters that can notify mobile devices when they come within 100 feet of the beacon. This micro-location proximity awareness can be leveraged to deliver a wide range of new innovative solutions, such as precision indoor navigation, automatic ticketing, guided museum tours, and location-relevant offers, promotions and payment options. LevelUp has successfully completed pilot trials of proximity beacon-enabled mobile payments and customer loyalty programs and is now proceeding to deploy these capabilities with customers.
"We are always on the lookout for innovative, new technologies that enhance the customer experience," said Seth Priebatsch, Chief Ninja of LevelUp. "Mobile proximity using beacons makes the LevelUp mobile payments and customer loyalty features even more attractive to users and gives us a platform to build a whole range of new tools to drive customer adoption and motivate loyal behavior."
“We love it when great teams build cool things using our proximity technologies,” said Marc Wallace, CEO and Co-Founder at Radius Networks. “Our partnership with LevelUp is continued proof that ProximityKit and our RadBeacon proximity beacon technologies are the leading choice of expert developers who are building real-world mobile proximity solutions. We are excited to work with the LevelUp team to deliver the next-generation of mobile payment and customer loyalty systems, and as LevelUp users ourselves, we will be using it frequently.”
