Motorola Licenses Technology from Apple Founder Wozniak

What's Woz been up to? Building a GPS tracking business in stealth
mode,  actually. But now the secret's out, as Motorola has licensed the
cool new technology, nicknamed WozNet. It's designed to track just about
anything, but how does it work? And what will Motorola do with it? We've
dug up a few shovels-full of dirt on the technology, including what
"Wheels of Zeus" means.

The wireless platform, dubbed "wOzNet" as a play on Wozniak's nickname,
uses a wireless tag that picks up signals from global positioning
satellites, then transmits that information up to several miles to a
base station or other receiving device using a low-power radio
signal—the same spectrum used by many cordless phones.
