Introduction

Have you ever wished that as soon as you step into a café, all

the alerts and offers get automatically displayed on your

mobile screen?

Have you ever yearned for a technology that could help you

draw an analysis on all of the people who storm in your shop?

If yes, then it is the time for you to rejoice as Apple’s iBeacon

is an innovation that could help in fulfilling all these desires.

What is iBeacon?iBeacon is Apple’s technology standard that is all set to create a revolution in the business world.

Helps an Android or iOS application to detect the presence of an iOS device, as soon as it

comes in a considerable distance from the iBeacon.

It is based on the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Wireless Technology.

It requires two simple things:

a broadcaster (Bluetooth based iBeacon device)

a receiver (iOS device with the app).

The broadcaster broadcasts signals, and as soon as the receiver comes in its proximity, it

receives those signals and responds accordingly.

ExampleJust imagine that you are walking in the market with an iPhone 6 in your hand. You are extremely

hungry and are looking for a food outlet. Suddenly, the Burger King’s app in your phone starts giving

an alert and provides you with a navigation map of the Burger King even from a distance of 50 meters

(which happens to be its beacon zone).

You are elated, and you follow the directions and go inside Burger King. As soon as you enter, the

beacon of Burger King detects your presence through the app on your iPhone and the door

automatically opens the door for you.

When you go to the counter, the app through the Burger King beacon gives you suggestions and

recommendations and tells you about all the ongoing offers and promotional codes. Finally after

placing the order you could even make payments without doing a thing.

Advantages of iBeaconAs a business firm, you might ask about the various advantages of employing iBeacon.

So here are some of the most exceptional and path breaking advantages offered by this

technology:

Tracking

Automation

Cost Effectiveness

Micro Location

Follow next slides for details….

TrackingAs a business firm, your main target is to know about the satisfaction level of your

customer.

The iBeacon technology precisely works for the same.

Through iBeacon, you could analyze the various statistics related to the customer

without any extra effort.

As soon as a customer walks into your store, you could meet up to his demands

without even deploying any employee for him.

You could keep a track at your employees and monitor that employee came when, or

at what time of the day does your store get the maximum footfalls.

AutomationOne of the most important advantages of iBeacon is automation.

As soon as people having your mobile app in their smartphones enter your store, the

doors would be automatically opened for them through iBeacon.

You could also use this technology as an advertising medium.

For example, as soon as the person crosses a particular checkpoint, he could be

greeted about all the recent products in your store.

Cost EffectivenessUnlike NFC, iBeacon could prove to be very cost efficient.

The range of NFC is only up to 0.20 meters while that for iBeacon is up to 50 meters.

So you could imagine the cost that you would have to incur if you set up NFCs in your

office rather than iBeacons.

Also, the hardware of Beacon is considerably cheaper and could be installed

anywhere at a considerably low cost.

Micro LocationThough GPS offers the best navigation and tracking but it is observed that GPS does

not prove to be beneficial inside any building.

But with iBeacon’s micro location geofencing, you could conveniently set up

navigation even inside your office premises.
