iBeacon (EAP737 only)
iBeacon is a technology, introduced by Apple in 2013, enabling new location awareness services. When
properly configured, the AP becomes an iBeacon-compatible hardware transmitter which broadcasts
information to nearby devices via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE; a wireless connectivity technology).
The UUID, Major and Minor are the identifying parameters used to make up the key component of the
iBeacon "Advertising Packets" that are continually transmitted by the AP.
-
UUID: Universally Unique Identifier, a number to distinguish your own AP in the network, from all
other iBeacon transmitters in networks outside your control. It contains 32 hexadecimal digits,
split into 5 groups and should look something like this: 12345678-ABCD-EFAB-CDEF-
1234567890AB
-
Major & Minor: These are numbers (integer values between 0 and 65535) assigned to your own
AP in order to identify the AP with greater accuracy than using UUID alone. Normally, Major value
is intended to identify and distinguish a group, while Minor value is intended to identify and
distinguish an individual. For example, if there are many iBeacon transmitters deployed with the
same UUID in a shopping center, and they are located at different floors/stores. Then these
transmitters can be identified and distinguished by different Major (e.g. 1 for 1st floor) and Minor
(e.g. 2 for 2nd store) values.
