WPS is a location-determination technology that uses nearby Wi-Fi (802.11) access points to calculate the location of Wi-Fi-enabled devices, such as laptops, PDAs, and dual-mode mobile phones. That location is then used by devices, applications, and services to deliver a wide-range of location-based services, including local search, advertising, friend finders, navigation, and asset tracking and recovery.
