Zusammenfassung:	This document discloses a solution for positioning a Bluetooth beacon device. According to an aspect, a method comprises: broadcasting, by the Bluetooth beacon device, a Bluetooth beacon signal comprising an identifier of the Bluetooth beacon device; detecting, in a mobile communication device, the Bluetooth beacon signal; upon detecting the Bluetooth beacon signal determining, by the mobile communication device, an information element indicating a location of the mobile communication device at the time of detecting the Bluetooth beacon signal and transmitting the detected identifier of the Bluetooth beacon device and the information element to a server through a network, wherein the information element is determined by using an indoor positioning system; and determining, by the server, a location of the Bluetooth beacon device on the basis of the received information element and the identifier of the Bluetooth beacon device.
