https://www.pointr.tech/blog/wifi-or-beacons-for-indoor-location https://www.pointr.tech/blog/wifi-or-beacons-for-indoor-loca... this will likely provide a lot more details about how beacon frames are used for location tracking.
- HWR_14 5y agoThank you!
- HWR_14 5y agoThis doesn't seem to have have any technical [edited: implementation details]. It does imply that iOS cycles MAC addresses fairly often to mitigate wifi tracking.
- Meph504 5y agoI'm not sure what you are referring to about technical difficulties? And yes iOS has tightened their controls on how their phones can be tracked. Most of these systems right upgrade or new piece of equipment that switches the tracking from wifi to Bluetooth or a combination of both
- HWR_14 5y agoSorry, I meant to right technical details [about the implementation]. Somehow I typed the wrong word. I know that Bluetooth beacons are a thing, but presumably leaving your phone out of discovery mode and not having any active Bluetooth pairings mitigates that, right?
- Meph504 5y agoNo worries, I do that all the time myself. As far as the bluetooth side it, I don't have personal experience with them other knowing that they were added to systems I've worked on after the fact. So your statement sounds logically, I just can't confirm it.
