   The three frametypes are: Beacon protocol - Google's Eddystone. URL: a URL (i.e. a website link) is transmitted to the device, eliminating the need for an installed Mobile App. UID (similar to Apple's UUID): a 16 digit string of characters, which can identify the individual beacon. This UID can activate an installed Mobile App.

9. Bluetooth - Wikipedia
