Re: [WISPA] ekahau for missing children
Roger, I'm not an expert but you are basically on the mark. Ekahau or other location-based systems should be able to track children if the children are wearing active Wi-Fi tags. jack Rogelio wrote: On a conference call today, someone asked if I knew of a solution that a large theme park chain might use to locate missing children. (Not really knowing the market, I (off the cuff) suggested they look at Ekahau. But I told them that wasn't my thing and that I'd have to connect them with someone else who did.) If anyone from this list would like for me to connect you with them, I can certainly try. WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] ekahau for missing children
The other thought I might have would be to give each kid an RFID tag, and then strategically set up the RFID readers throughout the park. I can also think of lots of interesting data you could gather as a theme park owner about patron habits if each was carrying a RFID tag... -forrest Rogelio wrote: On a conference call today, someone asked if I knew of a solution that a large theme park chain might use to locate missing children.

Re: [WISPA] ekahau for missing children
That wold require the whole park to be wifi enabled, wouldn't a portable 3g/gps type of thing would be more reliable? Gino A.
