We had this problem at a previous job - how to locate a piece of medical equipment so that a nurse can quickly get it when needed (they get moved around and their locations typically aren't communicated at shift change). Ordinary WiFi wasn't good enough - it had roughly 1.2 meter accuracy, which given that radio waves can pass thru a wall, couldn't tell you if the device was in room 201 or the adjacent 203. Which is a problem when seconds counted.
The fact that they can do this with just a firmware update is excellent news. Hopefully they'll license it to some of the big commercial access point vendors (Cisco, etc).
