Homeland Security Applications
TruePosition technology enables a variety of location applications that can provide valuable assistance for homeland security.

used during a past incident).
Geofencing: creating a virtual fence around a geographic location; alerts that signal anytime a particular wireless device enters or exits the area;
helping detect penetration of a restricted area.
RFID device tracking: monitoring RFIDs on equipment; identifying an asset and its location, direction and velocity.
