Mist has been integrating location in their APs since the very first one they released. They are able to leverage BLE in order to provide location with a very good accuracy. They are also able to leverage Wi-Fi to provide location. However, location using Wi-Fi is usually not as accurate.
In this episode, we have approached several topics related to contact tracing:
- Concept of zones and occupancy (ability to know when too many people are present in a specific are)
- How can we leverage contact tracing in the current context (people going back to work after COVID lockdown)
- Proximity tracing
- Journey mapping (ability to go back and know who was in contact with an infected person)
- Technologies used to perform location tracing (BLE, Wi-Fi)
- Privacy
