GEO-LOCATING WIRELESS MOBILE TERMINALS:
Theory, Techniques and Supporting Technologies

September 19-21, 2011, in Washington, DC.

...a most comprehensive coverage of the technologies employed in meeting the FCC E911 mandate, and the impetus for geo-location of wireless mobile terminals...

The ongoing proliferation of cellular telephony, and the growing dependence on ubiquitous mobile connectivity (e.g. 3G , 4G, WiFi, WiMax etc.), challenges the wireless industry with regulatory and commercially driven requirements for location awareness. Likewise, the proliferation of GPS presents similar challenges while also providing significant added-value benefits in the form of directed marketing, data security enhancement, personal safety, and cost savings.

This course, taught by the author of the course textbook, presents the theory and the prevailing practical methods of wireless distance measurement and position estimation, with application examples ranging from cellular communications through wireless local (LAN) and personal (PAN) networks and RFID, as well as the stand-alone navigation tool, GPS. This comprehensive ‘how it works’ treatment of the subject will enable course participants to gain the necessary knowledge to address most practical applications at hand.

Who should attend:

The course covers the principles, practices and applications of geo-location techniques for wireless mobile terminals, knowledge required by all who are involved in managing, planning, designing and deploying location awareness to existing devices and systems, as well as to those responsible for deploying products containing positioning features for general purposes and those supporting first responders and homeland security operations. Although there are no prerequisites for this course, some familiarity with wireless principles and undergraduate engineering mathematics will be helpful for maximum benefit.
