IBeacon Distance Calculator for Android
IBeacon distance calculation on Android is crucial for indoor positioning and proximity marketing. Our tool helps you determine the distance between an iBeacon and an Android device.
- Enter the Tx Power (dBm) and RSSI (dBm) values.
- Click ‘Calculate’.
- View the distance in meters and a visual representation on the chart.
The formula used is: Distance = 10 ^ ((TxPower – RSSI) / (10 * N)), where N is typically 2 for iBeacons.
| Distance (m) | Accuracy (m) |
|---|---|
| 1 | 0.5 |
| 3 | 1.5 |
| 5 | 2.5 |
- Use iBeacons with known Tx Power for accurate results.
- Consider environmental factors like interference and obstacles.
- Calibrate your iBeacons regularly for optimal performance.
What is RSSI?
Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) is a measure of the power level being received by the Android device from the iBeacon.
