Abstract:
A system and method is provided for using a wireless network to determine a device's physical location and retrieve location specific settings based upon the device's physical location. A device's physical location is determined by matching the identifier of the wireless access point (WAP) to which the device is connected with a list of WAP identifiers and corresponding location identifiers. The retrieved location identifier is then used to retrieve location specific settings that are applied at the device.
