Combain Location API

The Combain Location API is a robust and innovative solution designed to deliver precise positioning services by leveraging a combination of mobile cell towers, LoRaWAN gateways, indoor WiFi, and Bluetooth access point data. By submitting the radio signals in the proximity of a device to this geolocation API, it will respond with the most likely geographical coordinates for that device.

This API provides developers and organizations with powerful tools to create location-based services and applications. Integrating advanced algorithms and a rich global database, the Combain Location API ensures fast and accurate location resolution seamlessly outdoors and indoors, making it a cornerstone for various industries and use cases.

You can subscribe to and access any of Combain's services through the same Location API, thus providing a genuinely seamless outdoor-indoor positioning service.

• Based on a crowdsourced global database

• Accessed over the internet with HTTPS

• Secure & Private

This GNSS alternative benefits customers globally from various industry segments. IoT companies use the API for seamless indoor and outdoor tracking of everything from stationary refrigerators and smart meters to constantly moving medical equipment in hospitals. Thanks to the API's security and privacy, police and security agencies also use it to track smartphones and vehicles.

The Combain Location API uses Combain's Location Database, built on billions of GPS position measurements and radio data from beacons such as cell towers, indoor WiFi access points, and BLE beacons.

Through crowdsourcing, we receive learning data from customers and partners, resulting in millions of new measurements every day. Then, we use our proprietary modeling algorithms and extensive server power to calculate a radio model for every beacon worldwide from all these billions of data points, resulting in the Combain Location Database.

To locate a device, you send an HTTP request to the web-based Combain Location API, providing radio data from the device. The most likely position of the device is then calculated based on all the radio models stored in the Combain Location Database.
