Problem: Where are my devices ?

What is most important ?!!•  Outdoor accuracy ?!•  Indoor accuracy ?!•  Current consumption ?!•  Size ?!•  Cost ?!

!!!!!!!All devices are connecter to the network today !(wireless and/or WiFi). !

Geo-Aware modems: !!-  Via Cell-ID and/or WiFi you can easily know where the devices are outdoor and

indoor.!-  Given that you know where the base station is located.!

⇒ Let’s create a database of all base stations in the world. (Wireless and WiFi).!⇒ Then let’s use smart algorithms to increase the accuracy of the positioning.!
