Skyhook Wirel= ess pioneered Wi-Fi location in 2003. Since that time, we have be= en building and optimizing a massive database of Wi-Fi access points and ot= her positioning anchors such as geolocated Cell IDs and IP addresses.  = ;TruePosition, a = long-standing, industry-leading provider of network-based wireless location= products and services, acquired Skyhook in 2014 and has now merged its geo= location and mobile advertising data product lines under the Skyhook brand.= We are pleased participate in the TMforum Open Hack as an IBM BlueMi= x partner.
Geolocation and IoT go hand-in-hand. Knowing the location of your = devices helps to accomplish many important objectives including optimizing = routes or traffic flow, reducing theft, streamlining asset management, and = enhancing safety.
The TrueFix=C2=AE location platform enables you to accomplish= these objectives via a simple Location API that can location-enable any de= vice. Location capabilities include Wi-Fi, GPS, and Cell ID if the de= vice in question supports the respective capabilities. TrueFix can lo= cate any mobile phone, IoT device, or sensor with Wi-Fi capabilities, or th= e ability to pair with another device that has Wi-Fi capabilities. Th= e Wi-Fi location method is advantageous for IoT devices as Wi-Fi modules ar= e typically lower in cost than GPS modules, require less battery resources = from the device, and can locate items in GPS-denied environments such as ur= ban canyons or indoors.
TruePosition is providing a limited number of Raspberry PI devices as a = courtesy to teams interested in using our Skyhook/TruePosition Location API= . However, any teams interested in adding location to their Hackathon= solutions can utilize our API to locate other devices as well.
