Google's Project Beacon

Earlier this week we received a special, unexpected package. Upon opening the box, we were shocked to find Google's new device; Project Beacon.

Now I know what you're wondering, what is Project Beacon?

Google's Project Beacon is a new program, which they aim to send to all businesses with physical locations, to make your business more visible to customers with mobile devices. It also encourages customers to leave reviews for your business, take photos and even help provide a live report of the peak/quiet times within the business's hours.

The actual beacon is simply a small, white stick with no buttons or any input or output points, which leads to the question…

How does the beacon work?

The Google Beacon is a Bluetooth-powered device that transmits one-way data, which can be picked up by smartphones which are in the range of the Google Beacon. The beacon is essentially like a lighthouse; which emits light to nearby boats to display a location. Project Beacon emits a Bluetooth signal to nearby mobile devices to designate the business's location.

Overall, we think this is an amazing project to be launching, as it helps push businesses' location and presence to potential customers. We appreciate being sent Project Beacon and look forward to seeing how Google progresses with this.
