Employees who work in risky situations could benefit from mobile technology that uses satellites to pinpoint the location of remote staff. Anglo Communication's Advisor uses global positioning system (GPS) technology to locate a worker's GSM phone and reports its position to a control centre. The centre then generates a response alert to the phone using SMS, to which the remote worker must respond with a single button press on the phone. If the reply is not received, emergency measures can be put in action. The link for this article located at is no longer available. .

One company is making it easier for folks to "track" anyone, by allowing them to pull up a map of the person's location on a personal digital assistant (PDA) or computer. Fleet Tracking lets businesses such as taxi companies and delivery services keep tabs on their employees. L411, a consumer-oriented directory assistance, allows subscribers to call switchboard operators who can view a map and identify where a call is being made from. Here's how it works: Cell-Loc puts a system in a radio tower with an antenna that receives and reads a cellphone's radio waves and stores the data on the company's cell-locate network. That data is later transmitted to the company's cell-locate network. Anyone with access to the right user name and password can go to the website and pull up a map of the cellphone user's location.
