• Developed by Google
• Multiple packet types:
• Eddystone-UID
• Eddystone-URL
• Eddystone-TLM
• Eddystone discovery:
• Similar to iBeacon’s ranging

10. Riccardo Di Stefano – La Sapienza University of Rome
• The goal is to make individual objects smart
• Packets:
– ID
– Information about the motion and the acceleration
– Temperature
– Battery voltage and broadcasting power
