Skyhook Precision Location

Build location into your product the way you ship features: deliberately, fast, and with control. With Skyhook Precision Location, developers pick the integration path that fits the stack—native SDKs for phones and embedded devices or a simple REST call from your service. Choose cloud-only or on-device lookups and keep implementation consistent across iOS, Android, and embedded Linux. Configure scan policies (Wi‑Fi, cellular, or combined), call locate(), and receive coordinates with an accuracy estimate, timestamp, and optional vertical detail. When satellite signals are blocked, multi-signal fusion keeps results stable, and you can tune power profiles so background updates don’t drain batteries. Start in a simulator, then validate in field tests using route replays and live logs.

For mobile apps, wire location into user flows instead of bolting it on. Create geofences for stores, venues, or job sites and subscribe to enter/exit events to trigger pickups, check-ins, or task reminders. Use adaptive frequency: high-rate during trips, low-rate when stationary, foreground services when required by the OS. Present clear consent prompts and match precision to user permissions, then stream events to analytics or marketing tools for measurement. If you already capture GPS, keep it and set Skyhook as an automatic fallback indoors or in dense urban areas to reduce time-to-first-fix and maintain continuity when signals degrade. more
