Pemanfaatan MAC Address Hostspot dalam Pengembangan Sistem Absensi GPS dalam Rangka Meningkatkan Keakuratan Posisi Pengguna

Abstract

Nowadays, most of company requires information systems for managing human resources department. Continuing previous research on GPS-based Attendance System Design (Adikara, 2013), this paper will explain about the development of the attandance system by utilizing and using the facilities of WIFI Router (Hotspot) to get user’s placemarks in the multi-storey building. The system sends the MAC address of WIFI Router (Hotspot) as user location. The objectives is the implementation to get MAC addresses of WiFi routers on Android 4.x operating system and combined with GPS-based attendance system for attendance systems development. The study was conducted by using Extreme Programming method in software development process. The attendance system results show that the smartphone based Android operating system can use and apply the GPS technology and the MAC address detection in order to keep an accurate user’s location. These systems development sustainability is also developing a system more credible check-in facility, for example by adding a biometric scanner facilities for its users.
