Abstract
Described herein are systems, methods and computer program products for controlling operation of wireless beacons, such as Bluetooth Low Energy beacons. Multiple beacons may be controlled centrally or may work together in a cooperative fashion such that related advertisement signals are transmitted by each beacon in a cooperative fashion to allow, for example, long-term indoor tracking of mobile devices in standby, locked, or sleep modes or with applications in background or non-execution states.
