iBeacons, the New Revolution for Events

It’s Apple’s alternative to Near Field Communication (NFC) that’s being built into more and more smartphones. BLE is available on the latest versions of iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, iPad Mini, Android smartphones and tablets, Windows smartphones and tablets, and BlackBerry smartphones.
