Beacon-Enabled Airport Apps

The 'Aéroport Nice' App Uses Beacons to Give Travelers Information

— November 22, 2016 — World

Aéroport Nice comes with many beacon-enabled features. From a pragmatic standpoint, it gives travelers important information about flights, showing users which gates flights are departing from or arriving at and giving them directions on how to get there.
