Summary of Findings

• Our one hour of research identified some of the available technologies to geolocate employees inside buildings.
• As there was no geographic focus provided to us, we are assuming a global focus. If a more targeted approach is desired, for example, the United States, this would have to be clearly communicated to us in any reply.
• Please indicate also in any reply that our initial findings are on track to deliver the intended goal of this research.
