Abstract
Apparatus and systems, as well as methods and articles, may operate to receive status from an operating system (OS)-independent module capable of providing OS-independent geolocation information associated with a device to a network at some time before executing an operating system.
Claims33
An apparatus, including:
- a device registration node to communicate with at least one operating system (OS)-independent module capable of providing OS-independent geolocation information associated with a device to a network at a time before executing an OS and to receive the geolocation information.
An apparatus, including:
- an operating system (OS)-independent module to couple to an OS, the OS-independent module capable of providing OS-independent geolocation information associated with a device to a network at a time before executing the OS.
A system, including:
- an operating system (OS)-independent module to couple to an OS, the OS-independent module capable of providing OS-independent geolocation information associated with a device to a network at a time before executing the OS;
- an omnidirectional antenna coupled to the OS-independent module;
- and
- a device registration node to communicate with the OS-independent module to receive the OS-independent geolocation information.

A system, including:
- an operating system (OS)-independent module to couple to an OS, the OS-independent module capable of providing OS-independent geolocation information associated with a device to a network at a time before executing the OS;
- and
- an omnidirectional antenna coupled to the OS-independent module.
A method, including:
- receiving status at a device registration node from an operating system (OS)-independent module capable of providing OS-independent geolocation information associated with a device to a network at a time before executing an OS.
An article including a machine-accessible medium having associated information, wherein the information, when accessed, results in a machine performing:
- receiving status at a device registration node from at least one operating system (OS)-independent module capable of providing OS-independent geolocation information associated with a device to a network at a time before executing the OS.
