1. A system comprising:
- a set of short-range wireless access points configured to provide a short-range wireless network having a coverage area wherein each access point is configured to communicate with a wireless enabled device within a portion of the coverage area and within a designated access area, the designated access area being defined by boundary data for establishing policy management therein;
a policy server communicatively coupled with the set of short-range wireless access points;
configured to receive the boundary data from a boundary calibration device, the boundary data representing a set of boundary locations, wherein the set of boundary locations is determined by the boundary calibration device collecting data from each of the of access points at each boundary location;
configured to determine whether the wireless enabled device is located within the designated access area within the coverage area based on the boundary data; and
configured to control the wireless enabled device in accordance with the policy management when the wireless enabled device is located in the designated access area.

8. A method for managing feature functionality of a wireless enabled device, the method comprising:
-
determining boundary data of a set of boundary locations based on a location of a boundary calibration device relative to a location of each of a plurality of access points; providing the boundary data defining a designated access area within a short-range wireless network coverage area wherein a plurality of short-range access points are configured to communicate within the designated access area defined by boundaries within said coverage area; determining whether a wireless enabled device is located within the designated access area based on data communicated by each access point of the plurality of short-range access points and the boundary data; and determining a feature policy to be applied to the wireless enabled device based on determining that the wireless enabled device is located within the designated access area. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
