AWS IoT Core announces new Device Location feature - devamazonaws.blogspot.com
AWS IoT Core, a managed cloud service that lets customers connect billions of IoT devices and routes trillions of messages to AWS services, announces AWS IoT Core Device Location, a new feature that makes it possible for customers to track and manage IoT devices using their location data, such as latitude and longitude coordinates. Using AWS IoT Core Device Location, customers can optimize business processes, simplify and automate maintenance efforts, and unlock new business use cases. For example, customers’ field service team can stay informed and quickly identify the location of devices that require maintenance action. In an IoT application, Global Positioning Service (GPS) is a commonly applied standard to locate an IoT device. But, not all IoT things, especially battery powered IoT devices, can be equipped with GPS hardware because of its high-power consumption. Therefore, new technologies such as cloud-assisted Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), WiFi, and cellular network have become popular alternatives to obtain location data for IoT devices.
