Measurable Mobile Media, Engagement, and Authentication
AccuNotify™: Secure Real-Time Notification and Measurement Infrastructure
AccuNotify™ uses secure beacon technology and precision proximity control to detect user proximity securely and accurately, deliver real-time notifications, and measure engagement. On the same CloudAuth™ platform, AccuAuth™ can be added when secure BLE mutual authentication or explicit user consent is required.
For a technical overview of how VitaNet connects physical spaces with mobile engagement, notification advertising, and secure authentication, watch the video below:
Secure Beacon and Precision Proximity Control
Conventional beacon systems often struggle with imprecise coverage and rogue beacon risks. AccuNotify™ combines secure beacon technology with precision proximity control to detect user proximity securely and accurately in real-world environments. VitaNet Stations can support engagement ranges from near-shelf precision zones of approximately 2 feet to broader store, venue, or facility zones. When higher-trust interactions are required, AccuAuth™ can extend the same CloudAuth™ platform into BLE mutual authentication and explicit user consent.
Cloud-Monitored Infrastructure, Not Standalone Beacons
Conventional battery-powered beacon deployments can create hidden operational costs, including battery replacement, field checks, and the difficulty of identifying devices that have stopped working. VitaNet Stations are cloud-managed IoT nodes with continuous health monitoring, remote status visibility, and centralized management. This helps reduce on-site maintenance burden and gives operators greater confidence when deploying proximity infrastructure across airports, venues, stores, and transportation environments.
Ad Manager and Retail Media Measurement
AccuNotify™ includes an Ad Manager interface for creating, managing, and measuring notification campaigns across deployed VitaNet Stations. Campaigns can be treated as physical-space mobile media inventory, with metrics such as impressions, clicks, CTR, and response data. This gives retailers, airports, venue operators, and media partners a practical measurement layer for in-store and in-venue media programs.
Background-Capable Mobile Engagement
AccuNotify™ is designed to work with native iOS and Android background capabilities, subject to mobile OS behavior and required user permissions. When permissions are granted, proximity-based engagement can occur even when the app is not actively open, helping create a smoother customer journey across stores, venues, airports, and transportation environments.
Enterprise-Grade Device Management and Security
VitaNet Stations are centrally managed through the VitaNet cloud for streamlined deployment, remote updates, real-time health monitoring, and scalable operations. The platform incorporates anti-spoofing security and supports clustering, request queuing, and load distribution for reliable operation across complex, high-traffic environments.
For Retailers Without Their Own App: The Open! App
No dedicated app? No problem. Open! by VitaNet gives you immediate access to AccuNotify™’s core proximity notification capabilities:
• No User Registration: Shoppers simply download and start receiving notifications—no account setup required.
• Easy Redirects: If you do have a mobile app, a single tap on the notification opens it. If not, you can direct customers to your website, campaign page, coupon, video, or other digital destination.
• Cross-Platform and OEM Ready: Available for iOS and Android. We offer OEM / white-label versions with your branding, app name, and icon.
AccuAuth™: Authentication That Comes to the User
AccuAuth™ brings high-trust BLE authentication to physical environments without forcing users to search for an app, scan a QR code, find a touch panel, or look for a camera. When a user reaches a place where authentication or consent is required, a clear mobile notification can be presented automatically. The user simply taps the notification to approve the interaction, while VitaNet completes secure BLE mutual authentication between the mobile app and VitaNet Station behind the scenes.
• No App Hunting or Hardware Search: Users do not need to open the app manually, find an authentication screen, scan a QR code, or interact with a kiosk, touch panel, or camera.
• Secure Mutual Authentication: Dynamic one-time keys and BLE auto-pairing support secure authentication between the mobile app and VitaNet Station.
• Built for High-Trust Workflows: AccuAuth™ can support financial services, ATM integration, ticketless entry, restricted access, consent, SSO, and MFA use cases.
SDK & Developer Support
VitaNet provides native SDKs for iOS and Android, built using standard OS Bluetooth APIs for forward compatibility, robust performance, and low maintenance. The SDK connects the customer’s mobile app with the CloudAuth™ platform, enabling AccuNotify™ notification delivery, AccuAuth™ authentication, deep links to app screens or web destinations, and integration with external services.
Through API integration, VitaNet can support guidance, advertising, ticketless access, payment-related workflows, membership services, regional services, and other connected customer journeys. Clear documentation and reference code help accelerate integration with existing mobile apps and enterprise systems.
VitaNet Station: Cloud-Managed Edge Node for Secure Notification and Authentication
VitaNet Station is a cloud-managed edge node that powers AccuNotify™ notification delivery and AccuAuth™ authentication in stores, venues, airports, and transportation environments. It incorporates three core technologies: secure beacon technology for rogue beacon detection and rejection, precision proximity control for configurable engagement and authentication zones, and BLE authentication technology for secure mutual authentication between the mobile app and VitaNet Station. Secure beacon and precision proximity control technologies are patent pending, while VitaNet’s BLE authentication technology is patented in the United States, EU, China, and Japan.
Powered by VitaNet’s proprietary One Station software, VitaNet Station automatically switches between secure beacon functions for proximity detection and notification delivery, and BLE authentication functions when secure app-to-station authentication is required. Cloud-based request queuing, clustering, and remote management support reliable operation in high-traffic environments such as airports, transit hubs, large venues, and retail chains.
VitaNet Station is software-based and can support flexible hardware configurations, including general-purpose Linux-based hardware and industrial boards, enabling future integration into gates, kiosks, lockers, transit systems, and other facility equipment.
Cloud Operations for Infrastructure and Media Management
VitaNet’s cloud platform includes Station Manager for VitaNet Station operations and Ad Manager for notification advertising and campaign management. Station Manager enables remote configuration, health monitoring, and operational control across deployed VitaNet Stations, helping reduce the field maintenance burden associated with conventional standalone or battery-powered beacon deployments.
Ad Manager enables teams to manage notification content, delivery conditions, campaign inventory, and performance metrics such as impressions, clicks, and CTR. Each customer can operate within its own tenant, with role-based administration separating Station Manager operations from Ad Manager campaign management. This allows IT teams to manage infrastructure while marketing teams manage advertising programs.
Why VitaNet? Technical Differentiators
Secure Proximity, Not Generic Beacons
VitaNet uses secure beacon technology and precision proximity control to support trusted, location-aware engagement in complex physical environments. This helps reduce rogue beacon risks and enables zone-level targeting as fine as approximately 2 feet.
Measurable Mobile Media in Physical Spaces
AccuNotify™ turns stores, venues, airports, and transportation hubs into measurable mobile media touchpoints. Campaigns can be tracked with impressions, clicks, CTR, and response data through Ad Manager.
From Notification to Secure Authentication
On the same CloudAuth™ platform, AccuNotify™ can deliver the right message at the right place and time, while AccuAuth™ can extend selected interactions into secure BLE mutual authentication and user consent.
Cloud-Managed Edge Infrastructure
VitaNet Stations are remotely managed, monitored, and updated through Station Manager. Role-based administration allows IT teams to manage infrastructure while marketing teams manage advertising programs through Ad Manager, supporting high-traffic, multi-location deployments with reduced on-site operational burden.
VitaNet CloudSuite IoT: The Technology Foundation Behind CloudAuth™
VitaNet’s CloudAuth™ platform builds on years of software development for secure enterprise BLE device management. Its predecessor, VitaNet CloudSuite IoT, used patented software, mobile SDKs, and cloud control to solve device authentication, remote management, and secure connection challenges that manual BLE pairing could not address at enterprise scale. This technology foundation is reflected in AccuNotify™, AccuAuth™, and VitaNet Station.
