If said correlation reveals an association between said first identification code and said second identification code: a radio frequency announcement signal is transmitted via a radio frequency signal transmitter circuit to signify said association. The invention also refers to a method of using a beacon in said localisation system, as well as the localisation system comprising one or more tags and one or more beacons.
