Abstract
Bluetooth is a short-range communication system that was developed with the intent of replacing cables that link portable and fixed electronic devices. Given its widespread adoption, especially in mobile devices, new uses are possible today. Although there are many proprietary solutions in the market for open source operating systems, they are based on unicast architecture. The problem faced is that there are not Bluetooth broadcasting systems for open source operating systems. The project addresses this issue, in that, it attempts to provide an open source, cost-effective solution to broadcast messages on the go using short-range wireless technology This project aims to create an open source Bluetooth broadcasting system which detects Bluetooth enabled devices like laptops/phones/smart devices and sends information on the go and is developed using Bluez open source which is a Bluetooth stack on a Linux operating system. With devices continuously evolving and the Bluetooth technology being improved, it is possible that Bluetooth broadcasting can be used for delivering a wider range of information in the near future at higher speeds than now.
