What is beacon technology?

Beacons are small, wireless transmitters that use low-energy Bluetooth Beacon technology to send signals to other smart devices nearby. They are one of the latest developments in location technology and proximity marketing. Put simply, they connect and transmit information to smart devices making location-based searching and interaction easier and more accurate.

How beacon technology works?

When a user walks past an area where a positioning system or IoT network with beacons is set up, the nearest beacon sends a code with a message to their mobile device. Затем, the message pops up as a notification on a user’s mobile device with a third-party or branded mobile app.
