1. A system comprising:

  • a first computing device configured to;

    determine a message to be broadcast; and

    output one or more signals according to a first wireless protocol, the first computing device being configured to output the one or more signals according to a first wireless protocol, and the second computing device being configured to process the one or more signals according to a second wireless protocol,wherein the one or more signals comprise a plurality of beacons that are associated with a reference beacon interval, the reference beacon interval being based at least in part on an amount of time between a first beacon of the plurality of beacons and a second beacon of the plurality of beacons,wherein the first computing device is configured to modulate the one or more signals according to an adjusted beacon interval that is based at least in part on an amount of time between the second beacon of the plurality of beacons and a third beacon of the plurality of beacons, the second beacon and the third beacon being temporally consecutive beacons in the plurality of beacons, and the adjusted beacon interval being different than the reference beacon interval, and wherein the message is based at least in part on the adjusted beacon interval and a second computing device configured to;

    receive the one or more signals according to the second wireless protocol;

    determine the reference beacon interval;

    determine the adjusted beacon interval; and

    determine the message based at least in part on the adjusted beacon interval.
