Responsible Monetization of Geolocation Information
The GMLC & E-SMLC enable mobile operators to support public safety alerts, complement marketing efforts with a geographically relevant perspective, provide IoT asset tracking information, and deliver accurate location based services (LBS) for personal security and 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 & E-SMLC, operators stay in full control of how geolocation data is used and shared.
PAiCore’s GMLC provides Cell ID information from any 2G/3G/4G/5G network, and has the ability to enable access to this information in an anonymous & secure way when queried for a particular device or mobile number via our Geolocation API.
The E-SMLC & the LMF (for 5G) provide increased accuracy as complement to the GMLC, reaching precisions levels comparable to GPS location methods, but without the transactional costs or battery drain associated to these type of transactions.
Key Features of PAiCore-as-a-Service GMLC & E-SMLC
- Its open source nature enables continuous innovation and use case adaptation from both our team and the contributions of the open source user.
- SUPL (Secure User Plane Location) geolocation capabilities are supported for improved accuracy.
- High-availability deployments supported in either active-active or active-passive modes.
- Its multi-protocol nature allows retrieving location information from 2G, 3G and 4G LTE.
