Though GPS is the most popular positioning system at present it does not perform well in indoor environments and metropolitan city areas. Wi-Fi positioning has received much attention due to its advantages with respect to indoor positioning and the wide spread of the Wi-Fi access points (APs). Its performance in an outdoor environment is also of interest as a Wi-Fi based positioning system can overcome the shortcomings of GPS. In this paper, the Wi-Fi positioning technologies which can be used in outdoor environments - trilateration and fingerprinting, are discussed. An experiment based on fingerprinting has been carried out in the Sydney CBD area where Wi-Fi APs are densely deployed. The test results show that the Wi-Fi positioning system based on fingerprinting works well for outdoor localization, especially when directional information is utilized.
