The Beacon Proximity Mode detects if the user is in the proximity of a bluetooth beacon. The proximity region is defined by a proximity distance, which creates a sphere around the beacon. Whenever the calculated distance to a beacon is smaller than the proximity distance, the user is supposed to be at the position of the bea-conbeacon. If multiple regions intersect the user is supposed to be at the position of the nearest beacon. In order to use Beacon Proximity as a Positioning System, Blue-tooth Bluetooth Low Energy has to be available and enabled on the mobile device. If a new environment should be equipped with iBeacon-Positioning, an expert has to mount Beacons on known positions and calibrate the propagation factor of these beacons. Proximity beacons can be configured using [[SYSCLS PROXIMITY BEACON]].
