GPS location • Satellites in the sky • Tall buildings • Indoors • Multipath problems • 15m accuracy • 2min cold-start • A-GPS
Cell-id + Directional antenna + Timing advance GSM location technologyCell-id +TA Accuracy 200m – 35 km
Current terminals • GPS built-in • E911 requirement • Geo-tagging of pictures • Geo-caching of blogs • Twinkle
User trends • User generated content • User generated services • Mash-ups Let’s play!
Challenges • Inaccuracy • Easy to jam • Using alternative means for location • http://www.opencellid.org • Personal invasion • Misuse of location • Regulation
Commercial ideas • Provide “location/presence” to 3rd party developers • On company level • Control buildings, heat, lights, guards, alarms, etc. • Switchboards, call to closest employee • Mobile office, team work, rescue • Instant messaging with presence information • On individual level • Status for family and friends: In office, On travel, • Instant messaging with presence information • Call routing
