Your Pets
GPS-based tracking services can be used for pets, too! Just about everyone
can identity with having lost their pet at some point. The GPS device’s form
factor can be collar-based or a subdermal implant. This can serve as your
pet’s electronic ID tag; it also can serve as the basis for real-time feedback to
the pet or its owner, perhaps providing automatic notification if your dog
goes out of the yard, for instance.
Check out www.homeagainid.com to find out about an Applied Digital-driven
service for tracking your pet today. What makes this interesting is making the
wireless connection more active than passive, adding 802.11 and GPS technologies
so that there can be an ever-present signal to track your pet within
the service area. Several companies are testing such capabilities so that
soon, your LAN may indeed be part of a neighborhood wireless network infrastructure
that provides a NAN — neighborhood area network — one of whose
benefits is such continual tracking capability.
