We've identified a potential use case for the Puck, however, both I and our mobile dev team is fairly new to beacons. I wondered if our use case is possible across iOS & Android?
We have a requirement for an individual user to send custom strings direct to multiple users of our app via a short-range localized method (i.e; not push notifications or something client > server, it needs to be point-to-point within a classroom setting).
My thinking was to potentially use Pucks as little "broadcast relays". Case:
• An individual usually an instructor, would tap a button in their app that would send strings to the Puck
• The Puck would then use the strings as it broadcast message.
• Users within range would launch their app and choose the correct message (in case of multiple pucks being in range)

Hi,

Does this sound feasible?
Thanks,
