Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons are broadcasting a signal at certain intervalls, so-called advertising packets. However, in order to be used for proximity solutions or indoor positioning, it needs to contain a unique ID to differentiate it from other beacons. iBeacons are already using the same kind of messaging that is now being introduced by Google through the launch of Eddystone.

SenionLab welcomes Eddystone, and looks forward for an even more available technology and opportunities within the field of proximity, indoor positioning and Location Based Services.
