Abstract

This paper proposes an intelligent displaying and alerting system, based on a scalable low-power communication infrastructure. The system is designed to offer dynamic display capabilities using the ePaper technology, as well as to enable indoor location-based services such as visitor guidance and alerting capabilities using iBeacon-compatible mobile devices. The system is designed primarily for educational and research institutions, allowing remote authentication through eduroam-type technology performed by the user’s distant institution of affiliation. As such, secure access based on locally-defined policies is to be implemented, as well as multiple levels of access, from guests to system administrators. An analysis concerning the dependency of system power consumption on the value of the advertising interval of the iBeacon frames is performed. Based on this, recommendations are made to the institution regarding the optimization of system configuration.
