Local Search and Technology Obstacles (Conference Session)
What's needed to go truly local?
Not just high resolution imagery of an area to help navigate there, but also details such as a museum's hours of operation,
location of handicap entrances and if credit cards are accepted. What else is needed? Easily accessible and highly accurate
information on the user and the potential targets, such as small business that they might search.
Speakers: Ian White, CEO, Urban Mapping; Kris Kolodziej, CTO, Spime Joe Astroth, Vice President and General Manager, Autodesk Location Services

Conference Session on Location Positioning Systems

"Unfortunately, GPS fails because it does not work
where people are: indoors and in cities. GPS is great, but not for many applications that require higher accuracy, precision,
coverage, and reliability. Conventional GPS receivers do not work inside buildings due to the absence of line of sight
to satellites, while cellular positioning methods generally fail to provide a satisfactory degree of accuracy..." "They
[device manufacturers and operators] also say that 70% 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."
"There
are about 200 million US wireless subscribers (Jupiter Research, 2005 projection); and, more than 30% of 911 calls in the
US originate from mobile phones--a number expected to soon outpace 911 wire-line calls, according to NENA. Further, 62% of
all calls in the US are made from cell phones (CTIA) and it’s obvious that most people spend most of their time indoors."

Asset Management and Tracking Using RFID,
RTLS and Wi-Fi
Asset
tracking technologies such as RTLS and passive RFID are being used to track assets of different values. The session will explore
the technologies and their applicability to traditional asset management as well as locating handsets in support of enterprise
mobile VoIP emergency calling.
Moderator:
Kris Kolodziej,CTO, Spime, Inc
Speakers:
Martyn Mallick, Director of RFID Technologies, Sybase iAnywhere; William L. Mertka, Director, Product Management, RedSky Technologies Benton Yetman, SRS Program Manager, PenBay Media - Spatial Robotic Solutions Room: Parc II
There are wide-area, local-area, and micro-area solutions to the "indoor"
location problem; GPS has largely solved the outdoor problem. The systems this session will feature solve indoor location
problems by using complimentary and alternative positioning technologies to GPS.
