NB: The blue beacons we currently have support only unidirectional communication. Beacons send information but cannot receive because they work with Bluetooth 4.0 technology.
These beacons cannot therefore form a mesh network because to do so, the beacon needs to operate in two-way communication.
Beacon record: The beacon record is always created after the scan, and it sends to the server an additional record with the information found in this BLE scan. If there are no beacons found, then it will send an empty package with GPS data.
