Eddystone-url is a Google technology standard that supports the physical web by providing a beacon-delivered URL that offers content based on the identified location. Eddystone-url is supported by both iOS and Android 4.4 operating systems.
An AP sends a beacon that includes a compressed URL. A mobile device app accepts the beacon, and the mobile user can access the URL that is provided in the beacon.
The beacon format is defined by a Google specification. Both the URL and the Advertising Interval are configurable parameters on the AP.
