Internet of Things : An emerging wave across enterprises
• Objects connected to each other
through wireless network and
transmitting data through sensors.
• IoT is expected to accelerate
automation of a large array of
domestic and industrial areas such
as home appliances, electric grid,
agriculture, traffic management, and
automobiles.
• Enterprises are not just looking at
driving efficiency with IoT as the end
game, but they are focusing on
generating new sources of revenue
stream via innovative business
models to justify their investment in
this area.
• Enterprises are using the data
derived from these sensors to make
effective decisions.

What are Location Based Services?
Location Based Services : The concept—Mobile LBS consists of a broad range of services that incorporate location information
with other data to provide a value-added experience to a mobile user. Location services rely on a combination of terrestrial,
satellite, and software-based measurement technologies to pinpoint the location of a user, which is then integrated with contextual
data to provide a value-added experience to a mobile user.
Location Based Services is convergence of multiple technologies

The most important technology is of course the positioning technology, the
way to find out the location of a mobile device accurately. Due to the unique

Types of Location Based Services
Pull : In the case of a pull service the user issues a request in order to be automatically positioned and
access the LBS he/she wants. For Eg: A tourist roams in a foreign city and wants to receive information about
the nearest restaurants to his current location.
Push : In the case of a push service, the request is issued by the Service Provider and not the user
himself. For Eg: This type of LBS is used in location based advertising, which informs users about
products of their interest, located at nearby stores.
Tracking : In a tracking service, the basic idea is that someone (user or service) issues a request to locate
other mobile stations (users, vehicles, fleet etc.)

16Location Based advertising
Hyper-contextual targeting
Hyper-contextual and location-targeted ads use data meaningfully to provide an exceptional experience to its target
group. It uses hyper-local data to deliver contextual messages that are meaningful to the audience.
Geo-aware targeting
It uses real-time location data supplied by the mobile provider. With this, you can display mobile ads to a possible customer
who is close to a particular location.
Place-based targeting
Place-based mobile advertisements use a certain area or location during a specific timeframe. Think of targeting sports-related
ads during a football match in the area of a stadium for instance.
Geo-fencing
Geo-fencing allows you to target users within a predefined area based on latitude and longitude information. It’s like a virtual
“fence” is created within a certain radius to target users around your store for example.
