1. A device comprising:
one or more antennas;
a plurality of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) transceivers, the plurality of BLE transceivers comprising:
a first BLE transceiver configured to receive a first BLE advertising signal on a first channel of a BLE frequency band,
a second BLE transceiver configured to receive a second BLE advertising signal on a second channel of the BLE frequency band different from the first channel, and
a third BLE transceiver configured to receive a third BLE advertising signal on a third channel of the BLE frequency band different from the first channel and the second channel,
wherein the first BLE transceiver, the second BLE transceiver, and the third BLE transceiver concurrently listen for BLE advertising signals on the first channel, the second channel, and the third channel, respectively; and
processing logic communicatively coupled to the plurality of BLE transceivers, the processing logic configured to:
determine data indicative of a distance from the device to a tag that is a source of one or more of the first BLE advertising signal, the second BLE advertising signal, or the third BLE advertising signal, and
provide the data indicative of the distance to one of a location server or an asset management system.
