BC, Riga, 15.12.2014.Print version
Striving to create the maximum comfort to its students and teaching stuff in academic activity, creativity and recreation the University of Latvia was the first in Baltic States to apply in its activity a breakthrough project developed by Apple called iBeacon.

Just last year this autonomous wallet-sized Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device was introduced to the world, but today it has been already installed in the main building of the University of Latvia.

 

The applied by the University of Latvia iBeacon device is a part of KNOQ Baltic global networks, thereby enabling to employ its advantages at the most. The KNOQ System, by organizing the information address delivery to smartphones, turns them into individual data displays and personal navigation systems by providing to the addressee direct access to various online services. Peculiarity of KNOQ lies in the unique tooling that delivers the content only there, where it is interesting and necessarily.

 

Connection of smartphone to the iBeacon networks requires the installation of a free mobile application KNOQ running iOS (iPhone) and Android (Samsung, HTC, LG, Google Nexus etc.) operating systems. This application enables a smartphone owner to receive textual and visual information in his mother language, by protecting the phone against spam. In total, KNOQ supports the delivery of content in 36 languages.

 

Hence, the students and teaching stuff of the University of Latvia now will be able to receive to their smartphones the up-to-date information and urgent messages, to be aware of all breaking news of the University. An important benefit is that the information through the iBeacon networks will be delivered only at the time and location, when it becomes interesting and necessary for the addressee.
