Abstract
A method and apparatus is disclosed for providing a range of location dependent information and services to users of wireless devices coupled to the multi-point wireless access network of the current invention. In an embodiment of the invention a multi-point wireless access network for servicing wireless devices is provided. The multi-point wireless access network includes: wireless access devices, an inventory map and a server. The wireless access points are arrayed in a coordinate system with a known relative relationship to one another. Each of the wireless access points provides communication capabilities for corresponding proximate ones of the wireless devices. The inventory map correlates selected ones of the wireless access points with corresponding inventory located proximate to each of the selected ones of the wireless access points. The server couples to the wireless access points and to the inventory map, and the server correlates each access to the multi-point wireless access network from a corresponding wireless device with the corresponding inventory from the inventory map to provide at least one of location dependant information and location dependant services to the corresponding wireless device.
