No more mazes or meanderings

Consumer and retail markets are at the forefront of emerging beacon applications. We are already seeing interactive displays in shops and public amenities that show additional information, activities or services as you approach. Supermarket shelving can trigger reminders on your phone if you pass an item on your shopping list. These same beacons can extend to indoor navigation systems in large buildings, helping you plan a route through complexes such as shopping malls, hospitals or libraries.

Thanks to the established crowd-sourced GPS infrastructure, proximity tags have become a practical way of keeping track of our property. Out of range signals including visual and audible find-me alerts enable us to locate devices before they go missing.
