Location Technology: Indoor Location Technology Opens New Worlds

Posted on 07:00 by Unknown
GEO World - Jun 2004 - Location Technology: Indoor Location Technology Opens New Worlds: "Imagine that you need to make an emergency call from a mobile phone inside a building that's on fire. You're disoriented by the smoke around you and are unable to describe your location to rescue personnel. By calculating the signal's time and distance to nearby cell-phone towers, mobile networks can calculate a position, but the accuracy is rather low (50-300 meters)."
