Findum
operates
through pre existing technology within select Sprint and Nextel
cellular telephones. The service
is able to acquire a cellular telephone’s precise location
through a combination of on phone GPS technology and cellular tower
telemetry. This technology allows the phone to be located even in
impaired environments, where GPS signal is inaccessible. This method
of location is very similar to that which allows 911 to locate callers
in times of emergency. Unlike similar services, Findum
requires no software installation on the phone itself. Rather, the
activation process simply provides Findum
the authority to locate the cellular telephone. |
