Zusammenfassung:	A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided in order to provide improvements in the configuring of Bluetooth low energy (BLE) advertising beacons. Embodiments of the present invention are directed to conveniently and reliably configuring or updating the configuration of a BLE beacon, while limiting the amount of technical information and/or tools required. A method is provided comprising: receiving a data stream encoded in a flickering barcode from a programming device; decoding, using a processor, the received data stream; and configuring a BLE beacon advertisement using the decoded data stream. The method may further include transmitting the configured BLE beacon advertisement. A corresponding apparatus and a computer program product are also provided.
