Growth in Locating Activity at TrackaPhone
Where do we see it going? Current codes of practice are an excellent base to build this industry from. They need to be addressed to cover all locating technologies and delivery platforms. As technologies converge whether cell-id, AGPS, GPS, WiFi, Spacial etc LBS providers are going to have to have, flexible processes to protect privacy and provide full traceability. Policing this technology is key to peoples confidence and the growth of a very exciting industry. Soon location will just become “location” whether it is cell-id, GPS, AGPS, RF, WiFi, RF, Matrix or whatever. Customer just wants benefits not technology.
