nabijheidsbeacons
Nabijheidsbeacons, also known as proximity beacons, are small wireless transmitters that periodically broadcast short identifiers over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). They enable mobile devices to detect when they are near a beacon and to trigger context-aware actions in apps without requiring pairing. They do not provide precise geolocation; proximity is inferred from signal strength and beacon calibration.
Operation and standards: A device running a compatible app listens for beacons; when a known identifier is
Applications: Proximity beacons are used in retail to present offers, in museums for location-aware guides, in
Deployment considerations: Beacons are usually battery-powered or USB-powered and placed at strategic points. Battery life depends
Privacy and security: Since beacons broadcast identifiers publicly, devices determine whether to respond. Privacy protections include
