Abstract
Techniques to dynamically manage power for a mobile computing device based on a location of the device are described. For example, a mobile computing device may comprise one or more wireless transceivers, a location module operative to monitor one or more location parameters for the mobile computing device, and a power management module operative to dynamically enable or disable one or more of the wireless transceivers based on a comparison of the one or more location parameters and information from a wireless communication technology database. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
