What specifically is a "world's first" here? Just curious because I know a hardware designer who designed battery-powered Bluetooth (not necessarily BLE) mesh networks for factory-scale alarm systems two years ago. Not sure if they ever made it to production, but I wouldn't be surprised. That system only required servicing once a year.

BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) is supported these days by all modern phones and we haven't seen mesh implementations on top of BLE that would be low-power. There are other non-low-power BLE implementations for example for lightbulbs, but it's not useful for beacons since they need to be wireless due to operational costs of deployments at scale.
