mobileFX BlueGate Q&A
Is Proximity Marketing Legal?
 

In most European countries Proximity Marketing is legal as long as the Consumer is presented with the choice to reject the marketing content. This is called Opt-In and most Bluetooth Cell manufacturers implement it at Hardware level.

   
What are the Anti-Spam Features?
 

Anti-Spam features are considered those Hardware and Proximity Marketing Campaign features that take into account and respect Consumer decisions rejecting the marketing content. An important Anti-Spam feature is logging the Bluetooth Address of a Mobile Device that rejected the content and not attempting to transmit content to this device any further. This is called the Block List.

What is Device Discovery?
 

Device Discovery is the process of discovering Bluetooth-enabled Mobile Devices by Bluetooth Cells and identifying their hardware and software capabilities in order to transmit to them appropriate Mobile Content. This is a feature of Bluetooth Cells and it is extremely vital and important for the success of a Proximity Marketing Campaign because it ensures that the right content is delivered to the right device.

   
What is Fallback Content?
 

Fallback Content is the content being transmitted to devices that cannot be identified by Device Discovery protocols and processes of a Bluetooth Cell. In a nutshell, Fallback Content must be able to load on any Mobile Device and such content are usually JPG image files.

   
What are OBEX Menus and Incremental Content Download?
 

OBEX Menus are Java applications (MIDlets) that are sent to Consumers over Bluetooth and when they run on a Mobile Device they present a Content Catalogue of files that are available on the Bluetooth Cells; such catalogues can be long lists of MP3 files, 3GP files, etc. The idea is that the Consumer can select the content file he / she wishes to download on his / her Mobile Phone over Bluetooth from the Bluetooth Cell. The process of downloading content from an OBEX Menu is called Incremental Content Download.

   
What is Bluetime?
  Bluetime is the accumulative time of transmission of a content file by a Bluetooth Cell.
   
How can I measure the Success of a Proximity Marketing Campaign?
 

In a Proximity Marketing campaigns there are three (3) variables that are used for measuring success: the number of devices discovered, the number of devices downloaded the content and the number of devices rejected the content. With mobileFX BlueGate or mobileFX BlueSign those variables are monitored per campaign per day.

   
Can I remotely administer and configure Bluetooth Cells?
 

With mobileFX BlueGate or mobileFX BlueSign you can remotely administer and configure Bluetooth Cells as long as they are on the same LAN. Direct TCP/IP access on port 80 is required.

   
What do I need to start my own Proximity Marketing Business?
