Progetto pilota in Giappone, il software controlla gli spostamenti
e in caso di deviazione dal normale percorso lancia un allarme
Arriva il Wifi per genitori ansiosi così can track their children
"The safety of students, here is a prime concern,"
GABRIELE Niola
YOKOHAMA - The decisive weapon for parents super anxious to provide AeroScout. It 's a software platform that, using wireless technology, it gives them the ability to track the paths at any time citizens of their children. Just a wireless connection and a computer. The anxious parent may then kept under constant control the fate of their child by sitting at home or work. Not only that if it were otherwise occupied, a special alarm warns you every time your baby turns away from the track route. But
how this technology works in practice? The child is given a 'tag' wifi to keep him, unapiccola transmitter, and the streets are installed wireless stations that continuously receive signals from this 'tag' and redirect them to the central server. In this way you can determine the position of small at all times.
But the service is not limited to tracking. There is a chance to experience, thanks to a voice server, the drivers there are children nearby. But especially in the small transmitter there is a button integrated for emergencies when in difficulty, the child presses and the signal to the central server that redirects to AeroScout parents.
explains Gabi Daniely, vice president of marketing at AeroScout, "The safety of schoolchildren is a priority concern for the parents and the Japanese police, the use of WiFi technology for localization is undoubtedly a win-win and innovative. "
The project, now in a pilot test involving about a hundred children, seems to be going very well. This phase of experimentation was necessary because in the past were only tracked the movement of goods or other objects, never humans. This was ordered to make the transition from AeroScout RFID unsuitable to draw children to the Wifi.
Going beyond the curiosity of this first use of a wireless network compatible with Cisco routers, you should consider the importance of the experiment and the willingness to make technology a part of everyday Wifi. Draw the children going to school is only a starting point to show the potential of a technology, AeroScout has in fact already in contact with Japanese companies like Nissan and NTT Data (the biggest mobile operator of the nation) for the development of other services based on this same infrastructure.
