Broadcaster

Broadcaster is a role to the device that wants to periodically or constantly broadcast the information. A Bluetooth beacon is a good example of this when all it needs to do is to broadcast information. Theoretically, the role of broadcasting is given to the transmit-only devices, but practically it can be given to any device that transmits and receives. Another important information about the broadcasters it that the data sent is not a result of any connection. Broadcaster always transmits data irrespective of who is listening. These packets are special advertising packets and should not be confused with the connection data packets from GATT Server and Client.
