Geofencing, in a security strategy model, provides security to wireless local area networks.

The developers use a technology called geofencing to attempt to minimize cyberbullying.

Geofencing, used with child location services, can notify parents if a child leaves a designated area.

Additional features include geofencing and preventive alerts.

Security cards should incorporate geofencing.

Right now there doesn't exist any hacks to remove the geofencing or downgrade the firmware," says Herbert. "

Some pet owners use these collars for GPS tracking and geofencing of their pets.

With an increasing popularity of mobile advertising, geofencing has been employed to distribute location specific ads to customers on their mobile devices.

In the future, KFC Fast Track will include geofencing so users can do the mobile check-in before they arrive at the restaurant.

In late 2014 the first known implementations utilizing the iBeacon wireless geofencing started to appear in retail locations in the US.

This geofencing has critics, including hobbyists chagrined to find their favorite flying spot suddenly encompassed by a DJI no-fly zones.

As a result, the drone manufacturer, DJI, issued a statement saying that they will now require that all of their drones would contain built-in geofencing limits.

Geofencing: vehicle tracking systems, person tracking systems, and pet tracking systems use GPS to locate a vehicle, person, or pet.

Those could be expanded to include certain manufacturing restrictions and mandates, which range from requiring DJI-type geofencing of all quadcopter makers to putting limits on carrying capacity and range.

The main issue preventing these types of great ideas (granular geofencing, passive check-ins, pushed coupons) from becoming reality is the fact that GPS radios consume incredible amounts of power.

Location-based mobile advertising, known as geofencing, is directed only at nearby prospects, and it has proved to work well, says Doug Ray, president of Carat North America, a media planning and buying firm.

I live just inside a red zone and find it quite offensive that a company would attempt to restrict any potential usage in/around my own house," one user wrote in response to the first geofencing update last April. "

In February 2015, Boidman was appointed Member of the Advisory Board at Gimbal, Inc. a geofencing and digital beacon technology company developed as a part of Qualcomm Labs and spun off in May 2014.

"DJI pioneered geofencing in the consumer drone sector in 2013, integrating no-fly zones into our aerial platforms and app, preventing takeoff in and flight into areas deemed off-limits for security reasons," says DJI spokesman Adam Najberg.

In addition, engineers were treated to new "geofencing" features for the Maps API, which would allow developers to create areas of the physical world where if an Android user walked into them would automatically trigger a reaction (a notification, or a sales message, say) from their device.

One expert in global positioning system security, and a politician, have suggested that government regulators should encourage drone manufacturers to build geofencing constraints into unmanned aerial vehicle navigation systems that would override the commands of the unsophisticated operator, preventing the device from flying into protected airspace.
