Government Agencies Wireless Location Technology

Given the increased need for safety and security in today’s world, government agencies can apply wireless location technology through a variety of important applications.

• Homeland security agencies can gain valuable intelligence to help deter or detect attacks, help first responders save lives, and identify suspects after an incident. Wireless location can help authorities guard borders, ports and airports. In an emergency situation, it can locate victims as well as deploy and track the movement of response teams.

• Military agencies can apply location services in combat, intelligence and logistical scenarios. Deploying antennas behind enemy lines, on the ground or in the air, the location of any phone or RF device can be tracked, identifying the movement of friendly or enemy forces, suspect phones crossing a border, even tracking RFIDs on equipment and assets.
