Abstract
Provided is an improved beacon, associated system, and methods of using the same. In particular, provided is an improved beacon that upon actuation, is modified from an idle state to a non-idle state, where the beacon transmits advertisement packets. Once the advertisement packets are received and/or acted upon, the beacon is modified from non-idle state to idle state. Accordingly, the beacon efficiently provides access to or monitoring of remote locations and, thus, has reduced maintenance costs and an increased lifetime.
