Steve Raney (2004) in his
report on cellular location tracking summarises the software
development issues as follows:
·
Handset operating systems are less
capable than those of personal computers.
Tracking and voice operations may be mutually exclusive.
·
Hardware platforms are
incompatible, but the move towards Java may alleviate this.
·
Data communication latency varies
from carrier to carrier and slows during peak time.
Distributing applications to cellular customers
is difficult. |
