Abstract
The framework we are about to explore is about more than Bluetooth beacons. The arrival of the beacon caused an explosion of entrepreneurial creativity and spawned an ecosystem that is enabling a whole range of proximity technologies. As we will discuss in the chapter on alternative technologies, each proximity technology has its own particular strengths and weaknesses, but they all benefit from the software and services that are coming together around Bluetooth beacons.
