Wearable Outdoor Geolocation
Delivered July 3, 2020. Contributor: Syed A.
Goals
To find out wearable outdoor technologies with their pros and cons.
Early Findings
Geo IoT
- Geo IoT is a geolocation technology that not only allows locating the subject but also retrieve additional information, e.g. queries, trigger events, and assigning user rights.
- Geo IoT, when compared to classical asset tracking, offers additional benefits while classical asset tracking only offers positioning.
GPS
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
WiFi
- WiFi leverages WLANs (Wireless Local Area Networks), i.e. device networks that operate over radio waves.
- WiFi positioning is accurate but may require paid service.
Network-Based Geolocation
Proposed next steps:
You need to be the project owner to select a next step.
