Eddystone Protocol Specification & Tools
An open Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon protocol specification from Google for proximity messaging.
What is Eddystone Protocol Specification & Tools?
Eddystone is an open Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon protocol specification from Google that defines a message format for proximity beacon communications. It enables devices to broadcast different types of data frames, such as unique identifiers, URLs, telemetry, and secure ephemeral IDs, for applications like location-based services and secure asset tracking. The specification is designed to be interoperable, flexible, and compatible with both Android and iOS platforms.
Hardware manufacturers, IoT developers, and application developers building proximity-based solutions, such as location-aware apps, asset tracking systems, or secure beacon networks.
Developers choose Eddystone for its open, standardized approach to BLE beacon messaging, which includes secure frame types like Eddystone-EID for encrypted broadcasts and a flexible architecture that supports multiple use cases while ensuring cross-platform compatibility.
