REFERENCE
A beacon is a small electronic device that transmits a radio signal to determine the location of an object; it is used for navigation, search and monitoring in transportation, logistics, security and rescue systems, and for tracking. The beacon's signal is received by special equipment or via satellite systems, which allows for real-time tracking of movement, and the device can operate autonomously for a long period of time thanks to its own power source.
