Access devices
Proximity marketing (also known as Bluetooth marketing) uses cell phones as a media channel to provide cost-effective and wireless targeted marketing. SMS marketing gets a customer from home to go to a shopping centre and proximity marketing is for short-range marketing, once the customer is inside the shop. To receive proximity marketing messages it requires that your cell phone has Bluetooth on and marketers usually make sure that they are on by adding posters in the areas of Bluetooth devices.
Bluegiga provides Access Servers and Access Points designed to meet the demands of the most reliable, flexible and powerful
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi local information systems. These access devices act as wireless routers for the secure
Bluetooth connectivity, but can also act as a Wi-Fi access point offering captive portal services for Wi-Fi cell phones. The uplinks for system management can operate through standard wired networks or public cell phone networks.
