What is breacons?

Beacons are wireless transmitters that send signals via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology to nearby devices like smartphones, tablets, or other compatible devices. They are small devices that are battery-operated and can be easily placed anywhere.

Beacons work by emitting a signal that is picked up by a nearby device. The signal contains information such as the location of the beacon, its unique identification number, and any other relevant data. Apps that are compatible with beacons can pick up and interpret the signal, allowing developers to create location-based experiences for users.

Beacons have many applications, including:

  • Indoor and outdoor navigation
  • Retail and marketing
  • Museums and galleries
  • Sporting events and festivals
  • Healthcare and hospitality
  • Security and access control

Overall, beacons provide a simple and cost-effective way for businesses and organizations to engage with customers and provide personalized experiences.
