Abstract
With thousands of beacons being deployed across chains of stores, cities, and entire countries, it’s easy to see how chaos could ensue in the absence of a robust management system. Imagine what would happen if beacons were lost; if they started to fail; if their software needed to be updated or their configuration changed and there were no tools to manage this.

A Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique number defined and assigned in blocks by the IEEE to equipment manufacturers, who then use the addresses to identify each product they make. The MAC address uniquely identifies network elements and is used across different communication protocols such as Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and Bluetooth.
