Sending Beacon Signals from a Web Browser

Question

I'd like to send a beacon signal from my mobile web browser. Is there a way to broadcast BLE in a browser? I checked the non-standard Bluetooth API, but there was no such function.

Thank you for reading it.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be support for this yet. There's an open request for this feature as can be seen here:-

• https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1043409
• https://github.com/WebBluetoothCG/web-bluetooth/issues/231
