title: BLE Beacon Functionality in iOS7
body: <p>I want to know if Beacons can launch a simple URL in iOS7 devices when they come into a predefined range of the Beacon or do they need a specially designed BLE enabled application sitting on the phone to do this other than a browser like Safari, Chrome, etc.</p>
  
  <p>Basically I want to understand if BLE and Beacons can act in a similar scenario to tapping a phone on an NFC tag ie user taps NFC device on NFC tag and a simple URL is launched which is loaded in the users default browser.</p>
  
  <p>Appreciate the assistance.</p>
