Can a mesh network scan a beacon?

First I would like to know if a beacon device can be scanned by another one, and if it is possible to do a trilaterazion using a mesh network and placing a beacon in a person, the application of indor location does not help me since I do not want to do it based on smartphone…

Thanks in advance

This is what I am trying to do as well. In theory, it should work as per this page: https://blog.estimote.com/post/165720366660/estimote-introducing-low-power-asset-tracking-api

However, I am having challenges as the sticker beacons are not updating location (it is not showing location of sticker beacons even in the Indoor location app). I logged ticket for this and waiting for response: https://github.com/Estimote/iOS-Indoor-SDK/issues/30

Let me know if you find anything that can address this issue.

Hi.
Thank you very much for the shared information, it helped me to understand what can be done with the mesh network and other beacons, I had doubts if this was possible, because I read that it was not practical for a beacon to hear another beacon due to the increase in the battery expense. I would like to know if the search time for the Stickers could be less.

I was trying another variant, maybe use three raspberry pi for the triangulation and place in a beacon device in a person that will be in constant movement https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/triangulating-the-office-dog/, I do not know if it helps you …

PD: Excuse me for my English. :slight_smile:
