Sigfox enhances accuracy of its geolocation services
November 21, 2019 //By Ally Winning
Sigfox has announced two new initiatives that enhance the accuracy of
the organisation’s geolocation services - Atlas Native and Atlas WiFi.
Sigfox has announced two new initiatives that enhance the accuracy of
the its geolocation services – Atlas Native and Atlas WiFi.

Now, developers with GPS-devices can access the Atlas Native
Complimentary service free of charge in exchange for data processing
rights. The GPS location data and its comparison with the Sigfox network
fingerprints will allow the machine learning algorithms used to compute
Atlas to reduce the uncertainty of the “real” location of the asset and
improve accuracy to 800 meters.

Sigfox has also finished the worldwide rollout of Atlas WiFi with HERE
Technologies, to create a global location service that will provide new
opportunities for IoT applications. Atlas WiFi uses HERE Technologies’
worldwide database of WiFi access points. These access points can now be
queried by Sigfox WiFi trackers and, by reporting the unique MAC
addresses to the cloud, generate a more accurate asset position, and a
better outdoor and indoor service.

Since using WiFi-based location consumes less battery than GPS, Atlas
WiFi will prvide long life IoT tracking solutions.
