3. Beacons are small devices that broadcast a
Bluetooth Smart radio signal to trigger alerts or
messages on consumers phones. You could see
them as the next version of GPS.
Instead of using satellites to triangulate your
position in the world as GPS does, beacons
transmit a low energy signal from a device with a
radius of 50-100 meters to provide
unprecedented location services that can
accurately measure positioning down to inches.

5. Almost all of the logic behind a beacon
deployment is through the supporting software on
the devices (e.g. beacon aware apps on
smartphones).
6. The distance between transmitting beacon and
receiving device can be approximated into 3 distinct
ranges:
Immediate: Within a few centimeters
Near: Within a couple of meters
Far: Greater than 10 meters away
7. The only role of the beacon is to notify the
Smart phone of its existence at the physical
location. Beacons come in a lot of shapes forms
and sizes.
