title: The behavior of iBeacon detection when multiple beacons have the same IDs
body: <p>I'm involved in a business case where this will pop up as a question sooner or later, for deployment simplicity reasons:</p>
  
  <p>For iOS, the integrated iBeacon support will be used. For Android, the AltBeacon library (by Radius) will be used.</p>
  
  <p>Are there any fundamental problems and gotchas if all beacons for a given content/interaction, and in close proximity to each other, and possibly also overlapping, share the same UUID, Major ID and Minor ID?</p>
  
  <p>They will all ping the same info, so in theory at least the app will just see a lot of pinging from seemingly the same device, unless somewhere in the system also MAC address will play a role to identify the source.</p>
  
  <p>I'm thankful for any practical advice about this. We are potentially talking hundreds of beacons spread out in moving vehicles, with more than one per vehicle.</p>
  
  <p>Regards,
  Anders</p>
