[Freeswitch-users] Follow me implementation

[Guillermo Ruiz Camauer]

I don't want to hijack your thread, but since the subject matter is
FollowMe, I would like to add that I am looking for something along the
lines of:

A FollowMe that somehow knows what room you are in within a building and
rings the nearest extension with a special ringtone which is assigned to
each user.
The "somehow" could be through a Bluetooth dongle attached to a PC in the
room that detects the User's cell phone and updates a DB that FS has access
to, or an Mobile Phone App that triangulates on WiFi Access Points and
updates a DB, etc.

Has anyone heard of such a system?  Experiences?

Thank you,

Guillermo Ruiz Camauer
