Intel has claimed to have developed a technology similiar to GPS for devices that connect to the Internet via WiFi.
It’s a more advanced form of triangulation similiar to what can be used to track cell phones.
The new technology, rather than relying on signal strength from three towers, sends data packets to the device from a few locations and records the time it takes for the data to get there and back.
Evidentally, this is a much more reliable measure.
While it doesn’t have the capabilities to replace GPS, which is still far superior, it should help in cases where GPS chips aren’t installed in the hardware.
