Turn your device into a powerful iBeacon infrastructure simulator and scanner. BeaconPoint is the essential utility for Mobile QA Engineers, Developers, and IoT professionals. Whether you are testing indoor navigation, proximity marketing, or location-based automations, BeaconPoint solves the hardware limitations of standard testing by allowing you to broadcast multiple virtual beacons simultaneously and scan with zero configuration. ADVANCED BROADCASTING Turn your iOS device or Mac into a virtual beacon fleet. • Multi-Beacon Simulation: Overcome hardware limitations with our intelligent Time-Slicing engine. Broadcast multiple different UUIDs concurrently using a fast 200ms rotation interval. • Granular Control: Customize UUID, Major, Minor, and TX Power for every beacon. • Quick Tools: Generate random UUIDs instantly or toggle specific beacons on/off with a single tap. • Visual Status: Real-time feedback on active broadcasting counts and rotation cycles. INTELLIGENT SCANNING Stop manually entering UUIDs to find your beacons. • Auto-Discovery: The scanner automatically detects all beacons currently registered in your broadcast list. • Real-Time Metrics: View live updates for RSSI (Signal Strength), Accuracy (Distance in meters), and Proximity states (Immediate, Near, Far). • Smart Deduplication: Advanced logic filters out duplicates using unique composite keys (UUID + Major + Minor), keeping your list clean. • Live Updates: Smooth, timer-based UI refreshing ensures data is readable and accurate. BUILT FOR PROFESSIONALS • Cross-Platform: Fully functional on iOS and macOS. • Developer Logs: Detailed console logging for debugging session states. • Modern UI: Dark mode support, swipe-to-delete gestures, and expandable touch targets for easy lab usage. IMPORTANT TECHNICAL NOTES • Hardware Required: Due to Apple Bluetooth architecture, iBeacon broadcasting and scanning do not work on the iOS Simulator. You must use a physical device. • Two-Device Setup: For accurate testing, we recommend using two separate devices: one to act as the Broadcaster and another as the Scanner. • Permissions: Requires Bluetooth and Location Services permissions to function. Streamline your location QA workflow today with Beacon Broadcaster Pro.
