Global crowdsourced radio-environment-to-location mapping database

COMBAINManage supplier listing

Global crowdsourced radio-environment-to-location mapping database: for every observed transmitter identifier (cellular Cell ID across 2G/3G/4G/5G, Wi-Fi access-point MAC address, BLE beacon address) the vendor holds a continually updated probabilistic geospatial fingerprint — where that identifier is observable, at what received signal strength, at what time, and with what confidence. Built passively from millions of contributor measurements reported by tracking devices and smartphones, it is effectively a worldwide map of the man-made radio landscape with ground-truth coordinates, refreshed in near-real-time without manual survey. Secondary assets: the measurement time-series itself (signal-strength observations per identifier over time, which encode transmitter moves, coverage changes and new AP deployments), the indoor floor-level/floorplan layer, and the labelled training pairs their positioning models are trained on (identifier set + signal vector → known coordinates), which are exactly the supervised labels a buyer of non-GNSS positioning data needs.

Type
not stated
Format
Tabular observation records (identifier, radio technology, signal strength, timestamp, derived coordinates, accuracy radius) aggregated into geospatial fingerprint/cloudbed models and served through a REST Location API; multimodal across radio technologies (cellular, Wi-Fi, BLE) with indoor floorplan context
Volume
Tens of millions of raw measurements at minimum (vendor states 'millions of measurements' as the active contributor pool), consolidating into an identifier catalogue plausibly in the hundreds of millions of unique transmitters worldwide — global Wi-Fi AP and cell populations alone are in that range — with repeated re-observations giving multiple observations per identifier
Users
Contributor base behind 'millions of measurements' — est. hundreds of thousands to low millions of contributing devices via embedded SDK/partner apps (inferred: collection runs through partner device fleets and apps rather than a standalone consumer app; ~35-person vendor with ~€1.3M revenue, so distribution is B2B)
History
10 years
Update frequency
not stated
Growth
Active — website assets and diagrams current through 2024-2026, product line expanding from Cell-ID positioning into indoor Wi-Fi/BLE and a unified Location API, with a stated scaling path 'start with one building and expand to floors, sites, and fleets'
Launched
~2014-2016 as a company (organization record for this domain dates to ~2015), built on research the team describes as 'more than two decades' of positioning work — i.e. the technology predates the product by a decade or more
