Location Based Services
Location-based services (LBS) provide targeted information to individuals based on their geographic location in real or near-real time, typically through wireless communication networks and clients such as portable computers, personal digital assistants, mobile phones, and in-vehicle navigation systems.
Location Based Technology
This is any technology that depends on real-time location tracking to function.

Our Location Based Applications
Our solution brings together the use of location-based services software, content provider to provide geographic-specific information (using APIs and SDKs), an end user’s mobile device, a positioning component, and a mobile network for data transmission.
We determine the geographic location of a mobile user, using the mobile phone network and cell ID, GPS satellites, WiFI or Bluetooth location based services.
