What is it?
CNG Internet Software is now building a new line, using Google's new Nearby beacon program, and supporting the actual Beacons, hardware and software.

Beacons, what is a MOBILE Beacon
Beacons? Small devices that send Bluetooth signals to nearby mobile (smart) phones. These signals interact with the mobile phones Operating system (Android) and/or and applications. It triggers specific actions, like location-based notifications. Beacons don’t send notifications themselves. What they really do is send a piece of unique geographic information, to the mobile phone within their range (about 50 meters).

Great, a message; what Next
Google Nearby to the rescue…Android devices talk to each other with Bluetooth. It's a hassle. Google Nearby? This surprisingly underutilized feature of Google / Android allows two devices that are in close proximity to "see" each other and exchange data. Neat! But how does it work, and how can you take advantage of it?

Google Nearby?
We are now talking about Google Nearby NOTIFICATION.
Very Techy, But we do the heavy Lifting for You.
Nearby Notifications is a new feature allowing developers to tie an app or website to a (mobile) Bluetooth beacon and create contextual notifications, even with no app installed. Things like activation, Google setup, message generation, email generation etc are implemented.
You; stay on the sideline, let us do all this, and enjoy the results.

So, what does my marketing prospect have to do?
Nothing. Ok, one thing; their mobile phone must have bluetooth reception turned on. 
You mean the one, that must be on to talk to other devices, to print from the phone, to get a contact from an other phone? That? Ok, always on anyway.
