iBeacon a bird's eye view

iBeacon as apple mentions it is a class of low powered, low cost transmitters that can notify near by iOS devices of their presence. iBeacon can also be used in Android. This technology allows an iOS device or another hardware to send iOS push notifications to the device in close proximity

iBeacon works on the BLE (or known as Bluetooth Smart). iOs apps can use region monitoring for apps to get notified when it reaches in vicinity of a beacon.
