Philips LED: Cool, But It's No iBeacon Competitor. Philips is testing a beacon solution in Düsseldorf that uses LED lights to help shoppers find their way through the store.
The system acts much the same as a Bluetooth LE powered beacon (or iBeacon – Apple’s version of the same thing). While the company has made clear that it’s only demonstrating the technology and hasn’t made plans for a commercial roll-out, pundits are nonetheless headlining the news as a competitive dust-up. “Philips takes on Apple’s iBeacon” proclaims The Verge: The connected lighting system is Philips’ answer to a slew of emerging tools that allow retailers to interact with shoppers’ smartphones as they walk throughout a store. Most of these options — including the most prominent one, Apple’s iBeacon — rely on lightweight transceivers located in and around shopping displays to ping shoppers with deals and highlights when they move nearby.
