Branch uses technology based on Bluetooth LE beacons to let you host your own private social network.

We’ve built a whole ecosystem consisting of Bluetooth sensors, Smart devices, mobile app, and a cloud platform.

Branch SmartPoints
Branch SmartPoints enable you to communicate with people passing by your home or business. Our technology is based on Bluetooth LE beacons, which allows for direct smartphone-to beacon communication. The Branch mobile app notices SmartPoints then gives users information about the place and people at that location.

Branch SmartID
Branch SmartID can be used to provide your contact information when meeting new people. SmartID typically contains a person’s name, e-mail address, phone number, and other social profiles. Simply open the Branch app, establish a connection with someone, and exchange contact information.

Branch TimeCapsule
In order to create a fun and innovative way for people to connect with each other, Branch beacons are preconfigured to create a "time capsule" of memories, specific to their location. People visiting your home or business can leave photos, videos, messages, and even voice recordings in your TimeCapsule. Branch TimeCapsule is a helpful reminder that time marches on, so make sure you capture each moment.


How Does it Work?

Simply download the Branch mobile app, available for free on the App Store, and check out the SmartPoints, SmartIDs, and TimeCapsules around you.
