Skyhook integration options include customizable SDKs, firmware, cloud APIs, and embedded solutions. This level of flexibility means locations can be integrated at the hardware, chipset, or operating system level, and has helped establish Skyhook as a leading independent location provider with drop-in solutions for devices running alternative operating systems and custom versions of Android.
Skyhook software can be directly embedded onto the device firmware or operating system, thanks in part to our collaboration with a network of leading chipset and operating system partners, such as Qualcomm and KaiOS. This helps enable devices with location quickly, without dedicating valuable time and resources to pre-test or validate the solution.
Skyhook Precision Location is a proprietary hybrid positioning system that intelligently uses a global location network of more than 5 billion Wi-Fi access points, over 200 million cellular IDs either independently or alongside GPS using a suite of tools and algorithms to position connected devices with accuracy and precision.
