Mokosmart is a company that specializes in designing, developing, and manufacturing BLE beacons. Small devices called Bluetooth beacons provide signals to other nearby Bluetooth devices. They are widely used in wearable devices, marketing, and other fields. UWB beacons have also begun to be more and more attractive over the span of years. Like BLE beacons, […]

Bluetooth beacons are wireless signal transmitters that broadcast their presence and location information to nearby devices. They use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology to communicate with other devices and can be used for indoor positioning and tracking. In this article, we will explore the definition and working principles of BLE beacons, as well as the […]

In the modern world, effective communication is crucial for any business or organization to run smoothly. Choosing the right communication mode for different applications is crucial. With the emergence of new technologies, communication modes such as Bluetooth and WiFi are becoming increasingly popular. This article aims to compare WiFi Beacon and Bluetooth Beacon, and then […]

Bluetooth is an open communication technology based on low cost short range wireless data and voice communication. From audio streaming (car speakers) and location based services to data transmission (health monitors) and device networks (monitoring systems), Bluetooth plays an essential role in our daily lives. Since 1994, there have been 14 different Bluetooth versions, each […]

There are two protocols for Bluetooth low-power beacons, one is iBeacon created by Apple in 2013, and the other is Eddystone created by Google in 2015. These two protocols have similarities in function implementation and scenario application, and they are getting increasingly popular. Many developers are using Eddystone and iBeacon for location-based marketing, giving companies […]

Beacons are inconspicuous, compact wireless devices that repeatedly broadcast tiny packets of location and sensor data using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) signals. When in range, compatible smartphones can receive these transmissions to enable a myriad of location-based use cases — from targeted advertising to contact tracing and asset tracking. For any business deploying beacons, ensuring […]

Bluetooth Beacons are all the rage in the business world. They help business owners keep tabs on specific assets and human resources in the premises. You can also use beacon iOS to maintain environmental conditions in a room, maintain equipment on a factory floor, or help customers find items in a store. The only challenging […]

IoT beacon technology literally means radio beacon, similar to the light of a lighthouse. In the original sense, it is a mobile or fixed radio station that is used in navigation, for example in aviation or shipping. The radio beacon emits radio waves that can be used to determine positions. In the IT environment, beacons […]

iBeacon Android with the MOKOSmart SDK The iBeacon protocol developed by Apple based on Bluetooth Low Energy is supported by a variety of devices. The article explains iBeacons and Bluetooth Low Energy and uses the example of developing an Android app for location-dependent shopping lists to show the location-dependent interaction of an app with iBeacon […]

In this article, we primarily want to deal with the implementation and planning of corresponding applications and the beacon infrastructure. Applications based on BLE beacons are becoming increasingly common. These applications, in particular, are currently driving the need for structured planning. In this way, Bluetooth continues to develop as a topic in our projects and […]

In the summer of 2013, Apple’s software chief Craig Federighi launched the location within buildings based on Bluetooth low energy wireless technology with the presentation of the mobile operating system iOS 7. The apple iBeacon was also rather casually used in listing the new functions for the proprietary process, which can now be used not […]

Possible use cases and business models for the beacon that enables location-dependent user interaction even inside buildings are currently being hotly debated. In-store advertising and discounts, mobile payments, navigation, public transport, localization in public buildings and museums and home automation are just the tips of the iceberg. And of course the omnipresent collection of data […]

Beacon real estate is a relatively new concept that involves the use of Bluetooth beacons for real estate dealings. Bluetooth beacons are very small devices that run on BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) technology. We can deploy Bluetooth beacons for a variety of purposes. However, they are very effective for real estate applications. Benefits of Beacon […]

Battle of the Beacon Technology: Google continues to work on the all-encompassing networking and has now introduced an equivalent to Apple’s iBeacon. The open beacon format Eddystone offers a range of tools and interfaces with which developers can control the communication and data exchange between different devices. The platform supports both Android and iOS devices […]

Proximity beacons are small devices that work on the low-energy Bluetooth technology. They transmit signals over a short distance which is typically a few meters. Nearby smart devices can pick up this transmitted signal. This allows us to send customized notifications to smart devices and find their location among other applications. The aim of this […]
