Overview The location.io real-time GNSS ephemeris service provides mobile network operators and location based service providers with a highly reliable GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou reference data feed to Assisted-GNSS servers. Because the real-time assistance data is used extensively by carriers for E-911 service, location.io has been designed with at least quadruple redundant views of each satellite and is delivered from carrier- grade, geo-redundant data centers. As a result of long standing technical partnerships, location.io interfaces are compatible with all major server vendors including Ericsson, TCS, Qualcomm, and Nokia Solutions and Networks. For custom requirements, a public API is available. Subscription licenses are available either directly from Rx Networks or from approved solution partners. Features and Benefits Global Coverage: By using Rx Networks’ owned and operated worldwide reference network of GNSS receivers, location.io provides multi-constellation coverage in every region. Commercial support for GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou are currently available with other constellations being added as they become commercially viable. Cost Effective: location.io can be scaled from the smallest of Location Based Service applications to large scale carrier deployments in accordance with your needs and budget. Real-time assistance data is also available as a lab feed to support your development and testing. Reliable: location.io provides all real-time GNSS assistance data with a 99.999% service level agreement and is relied upon every day for emergency and other critical applications. Extensible: the location.io real-time GNSS assistance and Rx Networks’ global reference network are the backbone of a flexible and easily integrated platform. A client using using the location.io real-time GNSS assistance data also can easily be upgraded to new constellations and services such as predicted GNSS ephemeris, Wi-Fi & Cell-ID positioning, absolute height, and an ultra- sensitive GNSS receiver. These solutions are adopted and leveraged by mobile network operators, mobile device vendors/OEMs, and semiconductor vendors to provide superior positioning solutions.

Real-time GNSS Ephemeris location.io interoperates with most leading infrastructure vendors and, as such, is available in several different editions.

RINEX Edition: This version supports standard RINEX format over SFTP access. It is used by customers such as Nokia Solutions and Networks and Polaris Wireless.

HTTP Edition: This real-time version supports native Rx Networks interfaces and includes virtually any type of A-GNSS assistance messages over most transport protocol options.

Third Party Editions: Through our technical partnerships location.io provides real-time assistance in a number of formats:

• Ericsson • TCS/Andrew/CommScope • Qualcomm

Supported A-GNSS Data Elements location.io aligns with 3GPP TS44.031 RRLP specifications to provide virtually any combination of Assisted-GNSS data elements for C-Plane and SUPL PDEs, or for custom applications. Service feeds are delivered over generic or proprietary formats. Supported file-based or real-time transport protocols include RINEX, UDP, TCP/IP, SFTP, HTTP and multicast.

Client devices are also enabled via an HTTP interface to retrieve the Navigation model and Almanac data.
