Trilateration with iBeacon

At the end of October, a conference of mobile developers #MBLTDev took place in Moscow, where I told about trilateration with the help of iBeacon.



In the report, I deliberately dropped all the standard code examples that can be found on the Internet, and focused on what competing technologies are, how the beacon works, what difficulties one has to face. It’s not possible to cover the topic with one speech, but I hope you will find something new and unique in your story.





Presentation



The iBeacon technology itself was released a little over a year ago. During this time, manufacturers have seriously improved their devices and expanded their range. Performance characteristics have become more stable. Different types of food are offered, and even “disposable” sticker beacons. Apple has released several updates to fix problems with iBeacon, and managed to quarrel with Google to use the protocol. There were examples of implementation. Moreover, when listing them, you can not refer to distant California, but to talk about two cafes in Novosibirsk (the problem of paying the bill without waiting for the waiter and the problem of simultaneously invoicing the bill with a large number of visitors), the Borodino Battle panorama museum (audio guide with pictures), RIF , Mega Belaya Dacha and Sheremetyevo ... Finally, my own experience under the flag of e-Legion in the automation of large residential premises.
