Linear beaconing is a wireless communication technique that utilizes a series of interconnected beacons to transmit data in a linear fashion. These beacons act as signal transmitters, sending out continuous signals in a specific direction, creating a virtual pathway for data transmission. This method is commonly used in navigation systems, such as GPS, to provide accurate location information and in industrial settings for tracking and monitoring purposes. Linear beaconing allows for efficient and reliable data transmission over long distances, making it a valuable tool in various industries.
