1. A system for use with a drone delivery service that facilitates a service delivery via at least one drone delivery device, the system comprising:
a beacon device that designates a desired delivery location at a service address selected by a subscriber, wherein the beacon device includes:
a code generator configured to generate beacon data that identifies the subscriber, wherein the code generator generates a pseudo random code sequence and wherein the beacon data includes the pseudo random code sequence; and
a beacon generator configured to generate a wireless homing beacon that indicates the beacon data, wherein the wireless homing beacon is detectable by the at least one drone delivery device to facilitate the service delivery to the subscriber by the drone delivery device at the desired delivery location at the service address selected by the subscriber; and
an access point configured to communicate via a network, wherein the access point receives delivery image data captured after the service delivery by the drone delivery device.
