We've done a pilot with one of our schools with 50 beacons - seemed to work 
pretty well for what they were looking for.  Now we are looking at seeing how 
many other schools/departments might be interested in signing up, since ideally 
we would like the number of different apps to be as small as possible.

Basic wayfinding within a building.  i.e., tell me how to get from wherever I 
am to room .  We also tested location-based alerts, and they work, but that 
wasn't of primary interest.
