The Energy Saving mode, iBeacon and MFI

The talk is dedicated to research on unusual usage of iBeacons, crafting custom trackers and energy saving while working with BLE. We will have a look at energy saving tools, go over the most common mistakes and come up with best practices.

About this talk

What does this talk cover?

Unusual things you can do with iBeacons, including crafting custom trackers, plus energy-saving tools for BLE work, the most common mistakes, and the practices that avoid them - measured with Xcode Instruments.

What does it cover on BLE itself?

Where Bluetooth Low Energy came from and why it wins on power: the radio sleeps most of the time and sends 20-byte packets. The talk covers beacon broadcasting versus central-peripheral connections, the full connection sequence, and how to audit the energy-saving mode.
