(Windows) Location

Retrieve the location of Windows devices. This feature is an option and requires a separate contract.
If a device does not have GPS, its location is determined using a combination of nearby wireless access points, cell towers, and the IP address.
The accuracy of the location depends on the device's capabilities. Location is detected when the device moves 1 km from its previous location.
Location is also retrieved at enrollment and at restart.
Two in-house apps (BizGo! Air and BizGo! Configurator) are required to use this feature. Contact us for details.
