    You want a company that specialise in sticking small plastic boxes to other objects or are you looking for specialist iBeacon installers?

    Any of the Irish companies with iBeacon products generally sell them as part of an overall system that includes mobile apps, web apps, back-ends etc etc. There aren't many of them and I can't really see any of them being too interested in an 'install the beacons only' project.

    There's not much to it to be honest, you'll want to experiment with positions/ranges/power levels etc but other than that most of them come with a self-adhesive mount so the install usually consists of peel/stick.

    Are you positioning to signal entry/exit/linger times, are you ranging for immediate, near or far?

    Keep in mind corners will bounce signals, solid objects/water/people will absorb signals. If you're using battery operated beacons, remember you will need to replace batteries at some point. Some of the iBeacons are bland boring white boxes others may as well have 'pinch me' printed on them due to their design.

    Which iBeacons are you using?
