How to Choose the Right Location Solution

Tags:
wireless lan

Overview Location solutions have received more attention over the past few years as technology matures and more deployments flourish. Businesses are increasingly interested in leveraging location information on assets and people to streamline their business processes. However, business processes are very specific to each company, and as a result it has proven difficult for companies to choose among the multiple technologies available when it comes to location solutions. This white paper introduces important location solution concepts so that one can make informed choices. The objective is to help to avoid some common misconceptions, such as equating a location solution with Radio Frequency ID (RFID) system, or believing that each technology excludes all the others or that the location solution is independent from the network in place.
