    <p>Yes, this works! I had actually never tried it myself until a few minutes ago. The only caveat is that when a device is both transmitting as an iBeacon and scanning for iBeacons, it does not detect its own transmissions.</p> <p>Here is my test setup:</p> <ol> <li><p><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ibeacon-locate/id738709014" rel="nofollow">Locate for iBeacon</a> v1.1 installed on an iPhone 4S (See NOTE), configured to transmit as an iBeacon with UUID 5AFFFFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFF, major 0, minor 0, power -59. Also configured to locate visible iBeacons (using ranging).</p></li> <li><p><a href="http://www.radiusnetworks.com/macbeacon-app.html" rel="nofollow">MacBeacon</a> installed on a MacBook Pro, transmitting UUID 2F234454-CF6D-4A0F-ADF2-F4911BA9FFA6, major 1, minor 1, power -59</p></li> <li><p><a href="http://www.radiusnetworks.com/scanbeacon-app.html" rel="nofollow">ScanBeacon</a> installed on the same Macbook Pro, scanning for all iBeacons.</p></li> </ol> <p>The result was that the iPhone detected the 2F234454-CF6D-4A0F-ADF2-F4911BA9FFA6 iBeacon coming from the MacBook and the MacBook detected the 5AFFFFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFF iBeacon coming from the iPhone. This proves an iPhone can transmit and range simultaneously.</p> <p>NOTE: Version 1.1 of Locate for iBeacon, which allows simultaneous iBeacon transmission and iBeacon locating, is not yet available in the AppStore. I am the author and am in the process of adding that feature to the next release.</p>
