Beacon

We're continuing to advance how Beacon's cutting-edge disinfection technology is deployed in real-world settings. With that, we're thrilled to announce Beacon's collaboration with @illinoistech. Through an Illinois Innovation Vouchers Program grant awarded by @ISTCoalition and The State of Illinois, we will be studying how Far-UVC technology can help mitigate the spread of infectious diseases in public spaces. iit.edu/news/beacon-te…

Peace of mind, powered by Beacon. Beacon customer Linda felt safe and secure going into surgery. She knew that Beacon was hard at work in the background: It was busy disinfecting both air and surfaces, which would help eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses from her hospital room. This is the future of patient safety and illness prevention: Continuous, intelligent, and easy-to-use technology.
