Q
What are cellular location services?
A
Cellular location technology is actually an umbrella term that is used to describe a couple of locating technologies, including Wifi and Sim-based methods.
Where GPS lacks, cellular seems to fill in the gaps. Its capabilities shine well in populated areas where cell towers are more densely located. Cellular methods thrive in buildings, cities and densely-populated areas because of how it uses crowdsourced Wi-Fi data. It can locate a particular device based on its distance from a collection of network access points.
