Interesting - same concept as Amazon Mechanical Turk when you could crowdsource tasks

Yes, you are correct! Knowing the MAC makes the attack reasonable - let's say 5 hours compute for 3080Ti. Not knowing the MAC makes it exponentially harder. You can still "guess" i…

You don't need MAC address - you just need the iPhone to broadcast specific BLE advertising packet/payload. Using Core Bluetooth API it is trivial, but you need to either: a) creat…

Founder of Estimote, Inc. (YC S13) here — we do beacons. In Project Aria video, they claim to have installed beacons at an airport to enable indoor location, only to dismiss it as …

Hi HN, this is Jakub, one of the founders of Estimote Inc. (YC S13). After almost 10 years of research and development, it is finally here - SpaceTimeOS, a new operating system for…

Hi HN, this is Jakub, founder of Estimote, Inc (YC S13). Happy to share we have just launched a new device that has BLE, LTE-M/NB-IoT and GPS integrated. It can compute its indoor …

Hi HN, This is Jakub, founder of Estimote. We just launched a new Asset Tracking API. Bluetooth beacons attached to walls can now scan and locate smaller beacons attached to object…

Hi HN, This is Jakub, founder of Estimote, Inc. We have just released and published to GitHub https://github.com/Estimote/iOS-Indoor-SDK an update to Indoor Location SDK. It does u…

Please note our Location Beacons with UWB have two radios: - Bluetooth (BLE) that is low-power and can give few meters positioning accuracy - Ultra-wide-band (UWB) that's not low-p…

John, our beacons are commercially deployed in many verticals. SDK together with Cloud does allow some provisioning and security mechanisms. Since beacons broadcast public Bluetoot…

Hi Hacker News, this is Jakub, co-founder of Estimote, Inc. Earlier this year we have added additional UWB radio to our BLE beacons. We did that mostly for floor-plan auto-mapping …

Hi HN, this is Jakub, founder of Estimote, Inc. (YC S13). We just released a new beacon firmware supporting low-power routed mesh over BLE. It's slightly different implementation t…

The time-of-flight is actually possible because of UWB radio. It's an additional chip to Bluetooth that can estimate distance between nodes with inch precision. Then using Bluetoot…

Hi HN, this is Jakub, founder of Estimote (YC S13). We just presented during CES Bluetooth Discover Blue event our new product: Location Beacons with ultra-wideband (UWB) radio bui…

Beacons use only BLE to talk to each other; there no Zigbee or other connectivity technology. That way both phones or other beacons/BLE devices can inject data to mesh.

BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) is supported these days by all modern phones and we haven't seen mesh implementations on top of BLE that would be low-power. There are other non-low-powe…
