WiL

• Wireless Location Platform (WiL) WG
• Theme : Research and Development of Wireless Location Platform.
• Chair : Nobuo Kawaguchi
• Started : 2006/05/30

Recent advancement of wireless technology enables the ubiquitous deployment of WiFi Access Points. WiL WG develop a "Wireless Location Platform" without GPS technology by creating a "WiFi Location Database" which maps WiFi AP with location info. Locky platform will enable 3-20m accuracy at indoor and 20-50m accuracy at outdoor environment. WiL WG also utilize other wireless technologies such as WiMAX, GSM, IMT-2000, PHS.

Followings are research and development topics of WiL WG.

• Development and management of wireless location portal Locky.jp
• Standardization of WiFi Location DB
• Standardization of 3D Building / Structure maps
• Research and development of WiFi location softwares
• Research and development of wireless location applications
• Collaboration with other organizations for application of WLP
• International academic collaboration
