AirTalk users will be able to communicate with and cheer on their favorite Miss Aoyama candidates while communicating with other AirTalk users within a 200m radius, no internet or data connection required. Because AirTalk messages can be synced natively with Twitter the goal is to promote a more lively yet interpersonal contest.
AirTalk is built with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and takes advantage of AirBeacon Technology. Similar technology, such as Apple’s iBeacon, is comparable with the main differences performance-related. AirTalk was developed with terminal-to-terminal communication in mind, the result is transfer speeds up to 10 times faster than similar existing services.
