Mobile Positioning and Location Management with GPS, Terrestrial Positioning, Non-cellular (RFID and WiFi) Positioning, and Managing Location Information
No attribute is more distinguishing and valuable to mobile network operators and their constituents (customers, suppliers, and investors) than customer location information. Location-based Services (LBS) are predicted to finally take off beginning in late 2005 to early 2006. Many people do not understand the underlying technologies necessary to position wireless devices, render the raw positioning data into usable location information, manage location information, place the information into context through Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and the issues associated with the use of location information by consuming LBS applications. This publication provides the reader with an easy to understand, step-by-step approach to location determination and management - crucial knowledge for exploiting location as a value-added service enabler for mobile communications. Features and Benefits: This publication will answer your most important questions including: What are the primary positioning technologies for cellular communications and how do they work? What are the advantages and disadvantages of various positioning methods for various types of location-based services (LBS)? What is Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and why is important to positioning, location management, and LBS? What are the standards-based means for managing location information?
