On the occasion of the Baseball League that begins next week in the United States, thousands of iBeacons will be deployed in stadiums across the country, according to information from Macrumors.
The league's organizers are trying to have more than twenty stadiums equipped with more than 100 iBeacons in each one to be able to use them for different functions.
The functionality of the iBeacons may vary depending on the stadium where they are installed or the teams that play, as well as cases in which they are used as a point of information of interest.
With iBeacons, the relevant mobile app will be able to provide ticket holders with precise instructions on the proper gate and seats, thus enhancing the fan experience and not making money from advertising.
It should also be noted that work is being done to have a good WiFi signal in the thirty stadiums, in addition to working with the main operators to improve 4G reception within the facilities. The protocol Bluetooth LE used by iBeacons is not subject to connectivity conditions, so users can obtain directions to their seats or other content already stored within the application without taking into account the status of their 4G connection.
As you can see, the iBeacons are going to give the bell in this league since they are going to be presented in society to thousands of users at the same time. We will see if after this they take off and are implanted in everyday life.
