CloudLocate service enables accurate positioning of even the simplest IoT devices with the most constrained computing, communications, and energy resources.
The service enables positioning in the cloud to extend the life of energy-constrained IoT applications, with up to 10X energy savings over a standalone GNSS power savings approach. The service uses IoT device measurements to calculate a location and deliver it to your cloud enterprise. CloudLocate is ideally suited for IoT asset tracking applications that require large power autonomy, a few position updates per day, reasonable position accuracy, and for which location is needed in the cloud.
