A system and/or method to determine the location within a building of an
apparatus, such as a personal computer, coupled to a computer network. A
communication facility of the apparatus is configured to source and sink
messages in the computer network via at least one network port coupled to
the computer network. A radio frequency (RF) receiver of the apparatus is
configured to receive beacon signals transmitted by a plurality of base
stations, the base stations located in the building, each beacon signal
encoded with location information descriptive of the location of one of
the base stations. Also, a location determination engine of the apparatus
is configured to compute a location of the apparatus based on the
location information encoded in the beacon signals, the computed location
being a point within the building.
