Abstract: Computing devices can utilize various low power wakeup transceivers in order to control functional states of various components of those devices. Each transceiver can broadcast a beacon including appropriate information, which can be received by any other device with a transceiver that is within a propagation range of the beacon. A transceiver receiving the beacon can cause the received beacon to be analyzed by appropriate decision logic, which can determine any appropriate functionality to be activated or otherwise contacted in response to the beacon. In at least some embodiments, the beacon can cause another type of communication channel to be activated to establish communications with a device from which the beacon was received. In this way, the communications channel can be established without having to leave the channel active or manually activate that channel.
