Introduction

A geofence is a virtual geographic boundary determined by GPS or RFID technology.

This boundary allows the software to notify when a mobile device enters an area or leaves.

If you have associated gateways with devices that are not allowed to leave a certain area, it is advisable to set up a geofence on the gateway set up.

You will be alerted when the device leaves the set area.
