iPhone5S and verification app
Prior to notice
After notice
Our reverently made demonstration app called "オリレール".
To cut the story short, the app is has its default screen set at Gotanda, and the push notification will be received when the screen image changes to Shinjuku after the Beacon terminal radio is received.
"オリレール" installed iPhone5S is used for this test.

iPhone5S and validation application
Before notification
After notification
Our carefully made demo application, "Orireru".
I omit a detailed description, but it is the app that the default screen is Gotanda, after receiving a radio wave of beacon terminal, screen will change to Shinjuku, and the push notification will come.
This time, I will use iPhone5S which is installed this Orireru as a verification machine.

調査開始
電波の影響が少なく、かつ遮蔽物の無い 50m強の直線を測れる場所を検討した結果、某公園へやって来ました。
3月某日、遮るものの無いだだっ広い公園で吹き付ける風が、容赦なくメンバーの体力とやる気を削ります。
寒いし、とっとと帰りたいので、さっそく調査を始めます。ビーコン端末から100m離れた場所からじりじりとにじり寄ります。
ビーコン端末を持つテックレッドの所まで歩を進めます。
50m地点を越えても受信なし。やはり、理論値と実際は違うのでしょうか。

Start of Investigation
We chose this park as a result of searching for a place where we could measure 50m+ straight distance with fewer impact of the radio and no covers.
The cold wintery wind that runs through the vast park with nothing to obstruct blows our physical strength and enthusiasm away.
Let us start our investigation and finish up ASAP to go home. We will crawl up inch by inch starting from 100m away from the Beacon terminal.
We take steps and apprach to the TechRed holding the Beacon terminal.
No reception after passed 50m. Perhaps is it after all the theoretical value different from reality?

The start of the survey
As a result of examining the place which has small influence of radio waves, no shield, and the availability to measure the straight line of over 50m, I came to a certain park.
March certain day, there was nothing to block and the wind was blowing in the large park, motivation and strength of members were destructed without mercy.
It's cold and we wanted to go home quickly, so we began an investigation immediately. From a location, 100m away from the beacon terminal, we got closer little by little.
We proceed up to the Tech Red with beacon terminal.
Nothing received even after the 50m point. Again, I wonder if it is different from theory and practice value.

42m地点、黒いiPhone の画面が新宿に変わりました。しかし、白い iPhoneは五反田のまま、反応がありません。
しばらく待っても変化がないので、そのまま白い iPhoneのみ近づいていくと、23m地点で受信を確認しました。
同じ環境で通信距離に差が出るという不可思議な状況に疑問を感じながら、引き続き様々な電波強度のビーコン端末を使って試してみます。
何度も試したところ、下記のような結果になりました。

At 42m point, the black iPhone has changed its screen to Shinjuku. However the white one remains with Gotanda, no reaction.
No changes after a while, but approaching with only the white one has resulted in receiving the radio at 23m point.
Although being skeptic about this strange situation where the communication distances under the same testing environment have brought discrepancies, we further continue testing with the Beacon with the radio set at various strengths.
After a number of attempts, the results have brought the folloiwng findings:

At 42m point, the black iPhone changed into Shinjuku. However, there has been no reaction to the white iPhone with Gotanda.
Since there was no change even after a short time, I approached to only the white iPhone, and then it finally received it at 23m point.
I felt strange that there was the difference in communication distance, albeit the same environment, so I will try using the terminal of the radio beacon with various intensities.
I tried many times and finally obtained the following results.

調査結果
黒いiPhone 10ｍ～69ｍ。白いiPhone 23ｍ～69m。
実験前に期待していた結果とはだいぶ異なる、素敵なデータが得られました。
「受信するiPhone端末によって距離に差が出た点」の原因として、
・iPhone端末の問題（生産ロット毎に性能差がある？もしくはプチ故障？）
・電波強度設定アプリがうまく作動していない？
・電波強度設定の仕方を間違えていたかも？
・ビーコン端末に個体差がある？
と、さまざまな仮説が考えられますが

Findings of Investigation
Black iPhone 10- 69m: White iPhone 23- 69m.
We have obtained an interesting data, which is far from the expected outcome prior to the experiment.
The possible cause of "the discrepancies in distance depending on the receiving iPhone terminals" are:
- iPhone terminal unique issues (Performance ability may be different per production lot? Minor diffects?)
- Malfunction with the app for the radio level setting?
- Wrong value set with the radio level setting?
- Beacon terminals may hold different performance level individually.
The above are the possible hypotheses we could think of,

Research results
Black iPhone 10 m ~ 69 m. White iPhone 23 m ~ 69 m.
We got wonderful results that are totally different from what we have expected.
The reasons of " the points of distance difference between receiving iPhone devices" are,
・A problem of iPhone device itself (There might be a difference between producing machines? or is it a small failure?)
・The wave strength setting application does not work well?
・Or the way we did the wave strength setting may be wrong?
・There is a difference between each beacon device?
We can come up with some hypothesis like these,
Black iPhone 10 m ~ 69 m. White iPhone 23 m ~ 69 m.

Result of inspection
Black iPhone: 10 to 69 meters
White iPhone: 23 to 69 meters
We obtained a remarkable data that is quite different from the result that we had expected before experiment.
As a cause of "the point where there was a difference in distance by iPhone terminal that receives"
Problem at the terminal of the iPhone(There might be a difference of performance by each production lot. Or is
it a small trouble?)
The application where strong radio wave is set might not be working well.
The way to set the strong radio wave might be wrong.
The might be a difference in beacon terminal.
As mentioned above, there are a number of assumptions that we can evaluate.
