- jkestner 13y agoIt still depends on the environment. If you've got any kind of obstacles, those will affect the signal strength. If a metal shelf or the bag of water I call a body is between me and a beacon, it may think I'm further away than if my phone has a direct line of sight down an aisle to the beacon. Unless you can control for all that, it's not going to be very reliable at all.
