1. A method of wireless service delivery;
determining a position of a first device requesting the wireless service;
delivering a wireless service defined by a first tier/quality to the first device if the position is determined to fall within a first region of space;
delivering a wireless service defined by a second tier/quality to the first device if the position is determined not to fall within the first region of space;
providing power to the first device from a first radio frequency (RF) signal carrying the wireless service, wherein the wireless service provides network access to the first device via packets;
storing a plurality of coordinates representative of a boundary of the first region of space, wherein said plurality of coordinates is stored in a memory disposed in a second device providing the wireless service; and
identifying the plurality of coordinates by a localization device that is physically distinct from the second device, wherein said second device comprises a controller adapted to increase a frequency of a second RF signal the second device transmits to the localization device, wherein said localization device comprises:
a mixer adapted to downconvert the frequency of the received second RF signal;
a bandpass filter adapted to filter out components of the downconverted RF signal that fall outside a predefined frequency band;
an amplifier adapted to amplify the filtered RF signal; and
an antenna adapted to transmit the amplified RF signal, wherein said second device further comprises:
a receiver adapted to receive the amplified RF signal transmitted by the localization device, wherein said controller is further adapted to determine a position of the localization device by comparing the first RF signal to the amplified RF signal.
