Apps today present the same experience –
whether at home or within an airport
With proximity, digital experiences can now
be tailored to where you physically are
• Bluetooth Low Energy, low cost transmitter that notifies
mobile devices of their micro presence
• The technology enables mobile devices to perform actions
when in close proximity to a beacon
• Beacons can last for years with a single coin battery
• Beacons are designed to wake up automatically every 1/10
of a second for the transfer of real-time information
• The actions can include real-time notifications, indoor
navigation, assets tracking, and must more based on
location
BEACON OVERVIEW
REQUIRES AN APP (bluetooth on and service opt-in)
apps require web services:
schedule & actual flight info
airport info shops, restaurants, services, descriptions, hours of ops, etc
walk times
wait times
terminal maps
product & service search
• be installed at airports
• follow industry standards
• be registered in a directory
TO PROVIDE VALUE BEACONS MUST:
• Beacons be treated as common use
infrastructure
• Adapt existing common use business
model and practices to beacon
deployments
• Follow best practices / IATA resolution
• Registry be governed by trusted body
such as Airports Council International
