Location, Location, Location
Increased productivity and lowered costs propelled wireless networks into its position as the network of choice - whether at home or the office. And now we're beginning to see wholly new types of wireless services and location services are in the forefront of these.
Location applications fall broadly into four categories:
-- Location Tracking: Finding a person or valuable asset in real time
-- Location-based Security: Controlling network access based on the location of a client device
-- Asset Management: maintaining and servicing equipment inventory and maximizing utilization
-- Content Delivery: providing users appropriate content based on their location.
Trapeze LA-200E Location Appliance: Comprehensive and Cost Effective
Unlike every other Wi-Fi location tracking products requiring time-consuming installation of client software on every device to be tracked, the Trapeze LA-200E Location Appliance tracks and locates any Wi-Fi device, a more flexible approach and time-saving advantage. The Trapeze LA-200E Location Appliance base platform is priced at US$15,995.00 and is immediately available to all Trapeze channel partners, VARs and customers in the U.S., Asia and Europe, Middle East and Africa.
