IoT NY Meetup #12- All About Beacons
Details
This month, we’ll step into the world of beacons with a Beacons 101 session, and deeper discussion around beacon deployment, analytics, services and underlying technology.
We’ll touch on:
• Architecting cross-platform solutions for Bluetooth Smart, iBeacon, Android
