Capturing an industry in motion

Offering the rare combination of utilitarian needs and social
interaction, Location Based Services are expected to experience
exponential growth over the next five years. While the US military
has used radio-frequency identification to track shipments for
(RFID) for nearly 20 years, the consumer applications of this
technology are just now entering their infancy. A similar trend took
place during the infancy of the Internet: military technology gave
way to consumers using the Internet to interact, view content and
purchase goods. Even now, consumers have increasingly used the
mobile check-in to notify friends where they are eating. Similarly, a
growing number of advertisers are reaching out to those customers
with proximity marketing. Furthermore, an increasing number of                   GTX CORP. (OTCQX: GTXO)

shipments to be tracked through the supply chain. While most
businesses have used RFID to track pallets of inventory,
Walmart Stores Inc. announced in July 2010 that it would use
these “smart tags” to track individual pieces of clothing.5 More
retailers, especially big box stores, are likely to follow suit over
the next five years.

Businesses can also use Location Based Services for marketing
purposes. Consider this: proximity marketing can help
advertisers target narrow demographic markets, when and
where the consumer is most likely to be engaged. Traditionally,
