Frequently Asked Questions

to know everything...

What is the Bluetooth®?
Bluetooth® is a technology of communication in short waves (100 meters maximum).
Initially designed to replace the wires of connection between devices, the technology is managed by the SIG, in which ILITOO NA is a member.
The SIG is supported by the major actors such as NOKIA, MOTOROLA, SONYERICSSON, MICROSOFT, TOSHIBA, etc.
How much does it cost to send content via Bluetooth®?
The transfer of data is entirely free!
The sending of contents with ILITOO NA is done apart from the operators of telecommunication, then no operating expenses.
Bluetooth® is an independent channel from the communication networks (CDMA, GPRS, UMTS, 3G, EDGE...).
What kind of content can I send?
Any type of multi-media contents can be sent through the Bluetooth boxes. Visuals [fixed or animated], photo, music, video, games [or specific Java applications].
Will the people receive several times the same content?
No, the ILITOO system is smart!
When a device is contacted, its MAC address is preserved in the memory of the box. As long as the message stays the same, the ILITOO box will not re-contact the user who declined.
Can an ILITOO box send several messages at the same time?
Yes, it is possible to configure a case so that it sends several messages.
Everything is customized within the administration, the time between sent information, the hours, the days, etc.
Do we get the real statistics?
Yes, the ILITOO statistics tool is very powerful. All the scanned devices are registered. Then all the statistic drawings are possible - the hour from passage, the number of downloads, the type of device, etc.
It is also possible to track the people by re-cutting the statistics of the boxes in network - like such hour in this place and such hour in another place.
Do we have access to the personal data of the contacted devices?
No. The Bluetooth diffusion does not make it possible "to know" the owner of the device. Only the MAC address of the Bluetooth device is known. This key is unique for each electronic device. The number of the cellular, the name of the subscriber or its contacts are not known. There is a total respect of the integrity of the telephone.
Is it considered as SPAM?
No! The Bluetooth marketing is not intrusive!
Many steps are necessary to receive the content [view the process]:
1. standing in a Bluetooth area [average 50 meters]
2. activate the Bluetooth feature of the device
3. ILITOO solicits the person to receive a message, this one is free to decline... this is the marketing method opt-in/opt-out
4. the person downloads the contents while remaining in the zone
Therefore, there is always the choice to receive or not receive Bluetooth contents, whereas it is impossible to escape from a SMS, even in its kitchen...
Is the USB panel protected?
Yes! The USB panel ILITOO is equipped with a shielding.
This is not a simple USB connector, vandalism proof, studied, tested and already in use, the connector is secured. The insertion of an object other than a Flashdrive will not damage the system, the screen will display "Illegible FlashDrive".
Since the summer 2007, this hardware is on permanent operation in the TGV [high-speed train] in France, under the name IDBOX.
How to update the contents to be diffused?
. Manually with a USB FlashDrive. These is a very simple process which makes it possible to update and recover the statistics of the preceding message.
. Directly on Internet. When the box is connected on the Web, you get a protected and restricted access, and you can manage all the messages and statistics from any computer with the administration console.
. By modem. If the box is insulated or difficult to reach, ILITOO has the solution and setup a modem within the box. You can then communicate with the box by phone and manage the messages and the statistics.
