Bluetooth Low Energy Beacons

Any modern technology can be well understood if we predict what it will become in the next 10 years. Let's journey back in time, when Bluetooth classic was launched and became available for customers. A key factor in its success was that it was available for everyone. The cellular phone manufacturers of that time were integrating this technology into their phones, which helped Bluetooth spread all over the world in no time. Bluetooth SIG predicted that the next era will contain IoT to its core and will be dominated by the IoT and that is very important to provide a low-power-consumption communication solution for devices. Thus, Proximity Beacon API was created as version 4.0 of the standard. In the previous chapters, we discussed various theoretical and practical concepts of Bluetooth Low Energy, and this chapter is no different. Here, we will discuss a...
