Application Description
ScanBeacon
The iBeacon Scanner For Your Mac
With the ScanBeacon app you can scan for nearby iBeacon proximity beacons and display their advertising details using any Macintosh computer running OS X 10.9 or higher and equipped with built-in or third party Bluetooth 4.0 support. ScanBeacon is an indispensable tool when developing iBeacon proximity solutions for your organization and your customers.
iBeacons are low-power wireless transmitters that send identifying information to nearby mobile devices using Bluetooth Low Energy (also known as Bluetooth 4.0 and Bluetooth Smart) signaling. Applications on mobile devices can be triggered by these proximity events and can implement behaviors that correspond to entering, traversing or leaving the local region covered by the iBeacon.
The ScanBeacon application will detect and display active iBeacons that are in range. For each detected beacon, the advertising data displayed includes
UUID - The unique organizational identifier of the beacon
Major - The group identifier of the beacon
MInor - The individual identifier of the beacon
Power - The calibrated power value of the beacon
ScanBeacon will also display the RSSI, or received signal strength indication for each beacon and use the RSSI to display the derived distance and proximity to the beacon.
The results of iBeacon scans can be copied and pasted as plain text into other applications and saved to a JSON-encoded file and reloaded for later analysis. Since ScanBeacon files are JSON-encoded the scan results can easily be consumed my other applications and systems.
