Abstract
Aim: This article looks at the societal impact of a research study 10 years after it obtained proof of concept as a prototype for surveillance. The solution was used to continuously monitor communication of a mobile device and intercommunication unit within a defined space. Introduction: Citations of a key reference article written on the use of Geofencing as a Security Strategy Model were retrieved and reviewed to assess its real-world use and societal penetration. Motivation: After nearly 10 years of publishing the first paper on Geofencing as a Security Strategy Model and launching the prototype for commercial purposes, this paper’s motive is to evaluate its societal impact. Problem statement: The impact of applied technological research can be obvious, but the benefits of basic research which this was as at the time can be difficult to assess. Approach: To standardize the collection of information related to the reference work, the review used keyword searches of academic repositories and electronic databases from September 2009 to February 2018, including Google Scholar. The survey was done in batches to enable ease of flow and analysis. Result: The model’s transferability and application have no limitations as the concept and its implementation are simple and draw on existing technologies which are available and at low cost. Conclusion: Key citations of a paper which uses surveillance technology written in 2009 have been gathered to ascertain past and future trends of its uses within academia and in practice.
