Parents track kids at Danish zoo
BlueTags, a Bluetooth tracking technology specialist is launching a new service -- a world first -- that will help parents keep track of their children while visiting the Aalborg Zoo in Denmark. Several other zoos and amusement parks have expressed their interest in the tracking product, acccording to m-Travel
How does it work?
"Bluetooth/WLAN access points are installed throughout the zoo. At the entrance, parents rent BlueTags' BodyTag for their children and register the required information along with contact details. They receive an SMS to their mobile phone with a code to be used when making inquiries about the location of the individual child. The parent simply sends an SMS with the specific SMS code and, through the tracking software and the SMS gateway, a response comes back with information about the child's location." -- m-Travel
