- 6. 6 WHAT IS A BEACON? ≒ A beacon broadcasts a signal (not content) that bluetooth 4.0 devices (eg your phone) can receive ≒ With 3 of them, the receiver can trilaterate its location and tell the beacon where it is ≒ Beacons (3 for 贈100) are simple The phone doesnt have to pair or login 足But you must have an app that does something with the signal IMAGE: REIGN DESIGN

- 9. 9 HOW DOES IT RELATE TO NFC? IMAGE: PYRIM TECHNOLOGIES ≒ Near Field in practice means around 4cm proximity ≒ BLE receives while NFC transmits: the user and phone must be actively checking-in with BLE ≒ iPhone does not support NFC ≒ Beacons broadcast to many ≒ Beacons need batteries (yearly) ≒ NFC contact is user controlled ≒ NFC at POS is now widespread
