Responsible Monetization of Geolocation
The Gateway Mobile Location Center (GMLC) provides secure, anonymous and standards-based access to subscriber location using network-based positioning methods including SUPL (Secure User Plane Location) where higher accuracy is required, without relying on smartphone apps or GPS tracking, fully respecting user privacy.
OVERVIEW
The GMLC enables mobile operators to support public safety alerts, provide IoT asset tracking information, complement marketing efforts with a geographically relevant perspective, and deliver location-based services (LBS) for personal security and basic authentication use cases.
Mobile operators hold one of the most powerful assets in digital services: location data, yet they often struggle to monetize it safely and efficiently. With PAiCore’s GMLC, operators stay in full control of how geolocation data is used and shared, while supporting high-availability deployments in active-active or active-passive configurations.
PAiCore’s GMLC provides Cell ID information from any 2G/3G/4G/5G mobile network, as well as from any Cellular IoT networks, and enables access to location-based information in an anonymous & secure way via our Geolocation API. This is ideal for any emergency alert system or for IoT device tracking.
KEY FEATURES
- Supports all 2G/3G/4G/5G positioning methods
- Enables network-based location data with full operator control
- Geofencing capabilities for alerts and reports
- Geolocation API: Supports REST/JSON and MLP/XML
CAPABILITIES
Key Features
Network Technologies and Positioning Methods
Supports all available GERAN/UTRAN/E-UTRAN access technologies and positioning methods such as TA, E-CGI, OTDOA/UTDOA, E-OTD and A-GNSS.
Geofence Location Reports
Triggers at the RAN alert target users or Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) when a subscriber enters, remains inside, or leaves a specific area during a specified time period.
Device-Centric Positioning
Thanks to SUPL, positioning information is securely exchanged with mobile devices assisted by Navigation Satellite System technologies, enabling more accurate geolocation information.
High Availability Solution
Active-active setup for maximum performance and load balancing or an active-passive configuration for seamless failover.
Geolocation API
Access of 3rd party applications to LBS, without the need for an active internet connection to track devices efficiently, thus preserving battery life and privacy.
Built-in GUI
User and permissions management, dashboard, query and tracking statistics, map visualization, automated tracking and geofence management.
POSITIONING METHODS
Estimated Accuracy Achievable After Deployment
All methods are network based. Bars show the accuracy range in meters, on a 0–1,500 m scale.
MAXIMUM LATENCY DEPENDING ON THE SCENARIO
Basic location queries and responses with minimal processing.
Additional processing time for enhanced methods requiring SMLC calculations.
Time required for both network-assisted and UE-based calculations, including A-GNSS fixes and assistance data exchange.

CAMARA LOCATION APIS
Location APIs Powered by PAiCore GMLC
Through the PAiCore Network API Gw, the GMLC exposes CAMARA location APIs to digital services.
Location Verification
The “Location Verification” API determines whether a mobile device is within the proximity of a specified geographical area. Powered by the integration with PAiCore GMLC.
Geofencing Subscriptions
Using the “Geofencing Subscriptions” API, users can create subscriptions for pairs “mobile line – geographic area“, enabling them to receive notifications whenever a mobile line enters or exits the predefined area. Powered by the integration with PAiCore GMLC.
Location Retrieval
It allows to retrieve the area where a specific user device is located. Powered by the integration with PAiCore GMLC.
