Scott Lemon talks about Indoor Location Systems using 802.11b, and mentions The Nibble Location System. This uses multiple base stations to triangulate your position. Seems a lot like what Microsoft’s trying to do with RADAR. Of course, my paranoid head immediately asks: is this something that an unknown (passive) man-in-the-middle-of-the-next-street could use to discover your position? And if so, how can we jam these trackers? After that, I’ll relax a little and wonder what the cool applications are, and is this anything to do with Woz’s new venture? Would indoor location be cheaper or more expensive if it wasn’t 802.11 but a simpler wireless system?
