Meet the new data reality for businesses and cities
Innovation in location technology is rapidly creating a New Reality for businesses and governments around the world.
People carry smartphones and connected devices with them everywhere they go. Those devices are location aware, cloud-connected, and the services they provide have become integrated into almost every aspect of their lives.
Businesses and cities are rapidly leveraging the Internet of Things at every level. Delivery trucks carry location trackers. Connected cars and buses share information about traffic and roads. Corporate offices know when rooms are empty or occupied. Even street lamps monitor traffic and weather.
Location is the glue that brings all this data together. When precisely applied, location helps make sense of the whirlwind of data being generated by all the devices in and around our lives. Location gives data structure, provides context to activity, and enriches it by making it available to complimentary applications and services.
Using Location Technology, we can process and connect more information about transit, mobility, and our communities than ever before. In doing so, we are gaining the ability, and the responsibility, to produce solutions that improve the quality of people’s lives. These are powerful, groundbreaking capabilities – powerful enough to create a New Reality.
