Well the next level of resolution from that is “Swing a dead cat” radius. My pardon to all the cat lovers out there.

Maybe the distance I can spit is lower than average, however. -- Hunter Fuller OIT Sent from my phone.

There are a lot of cases where I can see that getting a device in “spitting distance” pardon the expression would be very useful in many cases. There are cases where they need more specific location resolution and that may require some other technology other than Wi-Fi. I can see at this point use cases for Tags, People, and patients. And I now each of these can also break down further. I am starting to have these specific conversations with users. I am just trying to get example of real people deploying a location service in their institution and see how it turned out. Vendors want to Sell Sell Sell….

Not only looking for the successes but interested in the failures. So many vendor videos to watch to see how this is “better than sliced bread”. I have over the course of time been involved with discussions from staff about the need to have a system to do this but nobody have really been successful in communication what they really need and how this information will manifest to some work improvement. We are a University Hospital so this is the main driver for location tracking. Feel free to respond off line if you like. Especially failures if you don’t wish to air that here. Thanks to all for the great information and experiences found here.
