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.
