# Location
A device is usually located at a location. A location is something like a roof which has an owner that needs to be contacted previous to accessing the roof. So a location should have the following properties:
* id
* name
* description
* contact
* media (photos i.e.)
# Position
A position is a well described geo position. A position can belong to a location. If you have 4 devices on a roof then each device has a position but all 4 devices have the same location. A position should have the following properties
* id
* latitude
* longitude
* elevation
* location
# Why is this usefull?
* Location: if a device needs maintenance, you want to know as much as possible about the location you are going to access
* Position: a unified position datamodel allows quite nice things like calculating the `line of sight (LOS)` or the fresnel zone between two antennas. If you combine this with the SRTM data of NASA you can draw quite helpfull graphs like WiND of AWMN does:
