Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A beacon comprising a light source, a control unit arranged for controlling the light source according to an operation parameter set, and being associated with a position determination unit. The beacon includes or is communicatively connectable with a processing unit and the processing unit is communicatively connectable with a database. The database comprises data representative of a plurality of predetermined regions. Each region has a predetermined boundary and each region has an operation parameter set associated therewith. The processing unit is arranged for determining a predetermined region in which the beacon is located on the basis of the determined positional information and on the basis of the predetermined boundaries of the plurality of predetermined regions. The processing unit is arranged for providing the operation parameters associated with that region to the control unit of the beacon.
