Types of Beacon Networks
Closed Private Proxama Network
Used exclusively for messaging existing
customers/app owners. No advertising accepted.
Network owner restricts who advertises
on network.
Open to all advertisers with network owner
managing a blacklist
‘Retailer A’ deploys a network of beacons within their
stores. These are used to send offers/customer updates
to those who have their app installed on their phone
Outdoor ‘Media Owner A’ sells campaigns exclusively
on all beacons placed within pubs and bars.
All campaigns must be booked through ‘Media Owner A’.
A nationwide network of beacons which may
(depending on individual agreement) include beacons
within the private networks. ‘Brand A’ will book their
campaign directly with Proxama.
