Google Inc Challenges Apple’s iBeacon With Eddystone

Google Inc has come up with Eddystone in a move that is clearly aimed at challenging Apple Inc’s iBeacon in the beacons format support space. Eddystone is an open-source platform that is available on multiple platforms that include Android and Apple’s iOS. Google has also made Eddystone available under the Apache v2.0 license on GitHub.

Google Inc is weighing heavily on beacon technology with Eddystone, a clear answer to iBeacon. To give its product an edge in the beacon technology space, Google has open-sourced Eddystone. For nearly two-years, Apple’s iBeacon has been something like the cornerstone in the beacon format market.
