You can Sprint but you can’t hide
The best spy movies always have it in the bag: the hero uses a hidden tracking device to follow the baddie into his secret hideout. Somehow, Sprint got the idea and decided to go all out with a tracking service for corporations to be able to find their workers anytime, anywhere.
This is a bit different from the usual tracking services offered by carriers:
By using the service these dispatchers can set schedules and have the application identify the location of a mobile device or group of mobile devices to ensure specific tasks are performed at designated times, create landmarks on maps that are important to the business, such as offices and warehouses, and track if an employee leaves or enters established landmarks and use text messaging (SMS) to reach a mobile worker or group of workers.
Tracking cellphones is actually as easy as pie. At any one point, all the carrier needs to do is determine the location of the cellphone in query in relation to the nearest cellsite. The technology just keeps on improving I guess. It’s over - we can’t run from our boss anymore.
