Beacons are the simplest way to communicate for the marketers with their customers at any location by having a proper interface and platform. The Beacons are the small devices which send BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) signals to their nearby devices such as mobile phones or tablets. It generates a notification on your mobile phones when your device enters in the proximity of any beacon device. The details of the notification depending upon the kind of data that is connected to that particular beacon device. The notification will generate on those mobile phones which have their Bluetooth ON and which contains the kind of application required by the proximity beacon.
