Google is making further progress with its Bluetooth - based beacon technology called Eddystone . Dubbed Eddystone (apparently after a U.K. lighthouse), the project is a cross-platform answer to Apple's iBeacon technology that arrived in 2013. The service lets apps and web pages detect customers exact location that then helps to select services for a particular action ; an example would be when you sat down at the bus stop , Eddystone would pop up , informing delays on services .
