What is a Software Development Kit?
Also known as “SDK” (and slightly incorrectly as “API”):
A package that a software developer can download that allows them to embed certain third party features into their existing mobile app.
• SDKs do not allow a customer to build an app from scratch on their own. • SDKs are specific to the operating system (OS) of the mobile device. • SDKs require a mobile app developer to embed the SDK code tools into an
existing mobile app code base.

What is a Software Development Kit?Compare an SDK to a Garmin car navigation system, and a venue’s mobile app to the car itself. And a mobile app OS to the make of the car.
– Mercedes still needs to build the car– Mercedes would outsource a 3rd party system for car navigation– Mercedes can’t just tape a Garmin GPS computer inside it; an engineer/electrician needs to
wire and configure it to the main system of the car.– This wiring/configuration process will be different for different types of cars (Mercedes,
Toyota, Chrysler, Ford, etc.)

Meridian SDKs allow a customer to add certain Meridian features to their existing mobile app:
1. NavKit to add self-guided wayfinding features.2. BluDotKit* to add “Blue Dot,” real-time mapping feature.3. CampaignKit* to add proximity-based notification feature.
* BluDotKit and ZoneKit also require Aruba Beacon Hardware
