Mobile Location
 There are a number of ways to find the position of an
 end-user’s mobile phone, one of those is cell-ID which
 is the basis for this first step of the Mobile Location API.

 An API for translating a cell-ID from a mobile phone
 network into a geographical position

 Positioning that can be used for any device that
 supports reading of cell-ID




                                                                2
Why Mobile Location?

  Positioning for any device that supports reading the cell-ID of
  the network cell that the user is currently registered to

  Supported by Java ME, Android, Symbian, S60, Windows Mobile
  and more

  No GPS or other positioning technology needed

  No dependancy on the mobile operator network


Mobile Location cell-ID Look-up provides positioning for
  location based applications available for most mobile
  platforms

                                                                    3
Main Features of Mobile Location

 Simple web service for translating cell-IDs to into
 geographical positions

 Access to a cell-ID database with global coverage

 Free to use for any developer of mobile applications




                                                        4
Mobile Location Overview

 Retrieve the cell-ID from
 the device your application
 is running on
                                                        • Cell-ID Look-up finds
                               • You get the cell-ID    the position of that
                               from the user’s device   cell
 Use the Cell-ID Lookup API    and send it to cell-ID
                                                        • Cell-ID Look-up
 to translate the Cell-ID      Look-up
                                                        sends the location to
 into a geographical                                    you
 position
                                              cell-ID   cell-ID
                                                         DB




                                                                           5
Mobile Location API

 Retrieve the location of your users with a simple call to the
 Mobile Location API


Example request:
http://cellid.labs.ericsson.net/xml/lookup?cellid=0008c257&mnc=08&mcc=240&l
ac=017c&key=YOUR_API_KEY

Results in:
<position>
          <accuracy>382.0</accuracy>
          <latitude>59.40364456176758</latitude>
          <longitude>17.94533348083496</longitude>
          <name>Helenelund (Kista), SE</name>
</position>


                                                                         6
