→Eddystone example with 1 beacon

In order to make sense of the data sent to the server for the calculation to be made, packets need to be parsed. Depending on the selected beacon protocol, packet structure will differ. Provided below are examples of parsing a packet containing Beacon data.

Note, the signal strength byte value in Hex format must be converted to Decimal from signed 2's complement, the converted value will be in dBm.

For Eddystone protocol, Beacon namespace:instance ID will be used to identify the beacon, for iBeacon protocol UUID:major:minor will be used. From there, the signal strength information can be used to calculate the distance to the beacon, then various positioning algorithms can be implemented on the server side for indoor positioning. <br>

It is also possible to identify beacons by their MAC address, by selecting advanced beacon mode on the FM device configuration. Below is an example
