After reading the press release about Cisco's new low-cost wifi mesh 
systems, built from tecchnologies developed by Airespace.com ( cisco is 
a prinsipal investor)

I was clicking around for technical specs, I came across this:  Besides 
mesh networks, Airespace offers central location surveillance capabilty 
to do [imprecise] tracking of users' and devices in realitme in an 
Airespace (cisco?) Wi-fi network.

"Airespace uses advanced RF fingerprinting technology to identify and 
track users to within 10 meters of their exact location - anywhere they 
roam throughout an enterprise environment. This enables IT staff to 
establish access control policies that are based on geographic location, 
immediately identify the source of unauthorized WLAN activity such as 
rogue Access Points,"
