"The reviews for this book are inspirational for anyone interested in capitalizing on this emerging industry.  Thank you for addressing this broad field of knowledge in such an organized and comprehensive manner."

READ all the reviews for Local Positioning Systems

 

Location-Based Services: "They [device manufacturers and operators] also say that 70 per cent of location-based services are being initiated indoors and yet this is precisely the environment where GPS fails to deliver an acceptable end-user performance."  Read more here.
 

LPS / RTLS for Healthcare 

“A large hospital can lose nearly $1 million per year in equipment theft alone”

“Healthcare staff waste up to 30% of their time searching for needed medical equipment that has been hoarded or misplaced.” 

Tracking criminals / sex offenders: Current GPS-based systems have significant limitations when it comes to continuously monitoring offenders. The most obvious limitation is that these systems cannot track offenders when they move indoors, underground or anywhere else the satellite system can’t ‘see’ them. By some estimates, offenders, like most people, spend 85 to 90 percent of their time indoors, so there is a considerable gap here.” [Joe Russo, Program Manager – Corrections, National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center.]

 "Satellite technology is not that effective in indoor places like a large mall, building or stadium, or outdoors in a canyonlike environment, like Manhattan." Read more here.
