The Lighthouse Beacon
Guide them straight to your business's door
Let them know just how close you are with our Lightouse beacon
and why they should call on you!
Or combine it to a 360 tour so you can be always open for a visit!
Beacons are designed to implement the latest and most fundamental development in the internet in the last few years: The Physical Web - a vision in which the internet abandons the confines of the computer and comes to live among us, in the real world. You have probably seen already people using their phones to find out what they can of their surroundings - what to do, where to go, what kind of stores are in the area, what kind of deals... and you wondered how to get into that action...
Here is how:
Our Lighthouse beacon broadcasts your presence, effectively extending your doorstep by a hundred feet or more. It announces the salient features of your identity: what you are about, why it would be a good idea to come in and take a look... and talking about taking a look: you don't even have to be physically open to welcome them! The lighthouse beacon is specifically designed to mate with our 360 Virtual Business tour and its enriched interface, so that any passerby can virtually "get in" and explore your store.
Digital Victoria is proud to work with BKON A1 Beacons in the Lighthouse Program. The A1 is perfect for commercial beacon deployments in large enterprise environments like healthcare and corporate campuses, as well as small retail, real estate, tours, galleries, wayfinding, etc., especially where a weather-resistant beacon is needed.
In particular, we chose the A! to broadcast your presence, because of its impressive range of 100+ meters at the highest power setting.
The A1 is PHY.net ready for the Physical Web, it is also Eddystone™, iBeacon™ and Bluetooth® certified.
Eddystone is an open beacon format developed by Google and designed with transparency and robustness in mind. Eddystone can be detected by both Android and iOS devices.
