IOT Technology: How Beacon, iBeacon, BLE Devices Will Connect
Beacon App Development is the new technology based on IOT (Internet of Things). Beacons use BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) to pass on messages to other devices which are in its proximity. They don’t use Internet or Wifi for message passing rather use the only Bluetooth for communication. Beacons have increased sales in various areas of business. Customer interaction has increased very much apart from that at websites and apps, customer interaction at the live environment like grocery stores has elated. There are many applications of beacons like tracking, navigation, airports, museums, railway stations etc. How the connection is established between two devices using beacons is the primary concern over here.
Actually, the analogy of a lighthouse will be very comfortable to explain about Beacons. As lighthouses at the sea give direction to the ships throwing light. In the same manner, beacons send a “Hi” message to the nearby devices. As it is completely unaware about the devices nearby, there is no question for data concealing. All the beacons have their own universally unique identifier( UUID ) for their unique recognition.
Beacon App Development is platform independent. The Beacon can be very simple physical device powered with a battery like our mobiles, iPad etc. They all have antennas for receiving and transmitting data, so they all can function like Beacons. But, the problem is the range, range for communication using BLE. Beacons can range from 10 meters to 50 meters.
One must use multiple beacons in case your pushup message doesn’t reach to the customers. If you use multiple beacons then appropriate task you want to perform can be managed as the case of proximity doesn’t occur. The beacons that have 50 meters as their range have a life of nearly 5-7 months but the beacons that have less range such as 2 meters, 5 meters, 10 meters can last longer for 1.5-2 years. You should also set the frequency of messages much low as possible. Otherwise, power consumption will be a big issue. If it’s mandatory to use high frequency like 5 messages per second for your business growth, then, doesn't hesitate.
Beacon App Development is on a constant rise. The future of Beacon App development market is very bright.
