1. A system for granting access to one or more users to one or more areas of interest allowable by a corresponding one or more scanning devices using Bluetooth low energy (BLE) Mesh, said system comprising:
one or more processors operatively coupled to a memory, said memory storing instructions executable by the one or more processors to:
receive, at any of one or more scanning devices operatively coupled to the BLE Mesh, a connection from any of one or more BLE enabled devices associated with a corresponding user scanning device scanning device;
receive, at the any of one or more scanning devices from each connected BLE enabled device, an intent signal associated with a request to grant an access to the corresponding user to a corresponding area of interest allowable through the any of one or more scanning devices;
determine, at the any of one or more scanning devices, for a first time for each of the connected BLE enabled devices, a threshold value of received signal strength indicator (RSSI) at a predetermined proximity of each of the connected BLE enabled devices from the one or more scanning devices; and
receive, at a server operatively coupled to the BLE Mesh, information pertaining to a logging data associated with grant of access to the user associated with the any of one or more BLE enabled devices to a corresponding area of interest and the corresponding determined threshold value of RSSI for the any of one or more BLE enabled devices,
wherein, when the value of RSSI of a BLE enabled device crosses a corresponding determined threshold value, the connection from the BLE enabled device is authenticated to allow the corresponding user access to the corresponding area of interest.
