The FYX Hub is a proximity-based receiver and transmitter. It is an always-on device and plugs into a standard electrical outlet. 1 It discovers, receives and transmits proximity and other data of interest from FYX Beacons and other devices running FYX-enabled applications via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) short-range radio transmissions. Then, using Wi-Fi transmissions, the Hub communicates this proximity and other data of interest to the GetFyx.com web service. The BLE and Wi-Fi radio signals transmitted from Beacons and transmit-
ted and received by the Hub employ industry standard security tech-
niques designed to prevent intruders from listening in on these mes-
sages. The Hub is a password-protected device with a web-based Control Panel user interface (UI) for Hub setup and management. Before perform-
ing the Hub setup, please visit http://www.getfyx.com/ to get started. Creating Rich Consumer Advertising and Marketing Experiences With the FYX Hub placed in indoor or outdoor business environments, proximity-based triggers provide dynamic customer experiences to en-
gage, entice and interact with your business on a one-to-one level. With the FYX Hub, proximity detection creates a new level of interaction between mobile, web and in-store campaigns.

B Regulatory Information Safety and Wireless Devices Scientific research on wireless devices and radio frequency (RF) energy has been conducted worldwide for many years, and continues. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) set policies and procedures for wireless devices. The FDA issued a website publication on health issues related to usage of cell phones where it states, The scientific community at large believes that the weight of the scientific evidence does not show an association between exposure to RF from cell phones and adverse health outcomes. Still the scientific community does recommend con-
ducting additional research to address gaps in knowledge. That research is being conducted around the world and the FDA continues to monitor developments in this field. You can access the FDA website at http://www. fda.gov (Under C in the subject index, select Cell Phones > Research.). You can also contact the FDA toll free at (888) 463-6332 or (888) INFO-
FDA. The FCC issued its own website publication stating that there is no scientific evidence that proves that wireless telephone usage can lead to cancer or other problems, including headaches, dizziness or memory loss. The publication is available at http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/cellular.html or through the FCC at (888) 225-5322 or (888) CALL-FCC. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) states that concerns about the potential health effects of using cellular phones and specifically the suggestion that using a cell phone may increase a persons risk of developing brain cancer are not supported by a growing body of research on the subject. You can access NCIs review of the research at:
http://www.cancer.gov/ncicancerbulletin/archive/2008/092308/page7 Can I minimize my RF exposure?
If you are concerned about RF, there are several simple steps you can take to minimize your RF exposure. You can, minimize usage of the device near the body. You can also place more distance between your body and the source of the RF, as the exposure level drops off dramatically with distance. Wireless devices marketed in the United States are required to meet safety requirements regardless of whether they are used against the head or against the body. Where can I obtain further information?
