LoRaWAN Location Lookup

For our location engine to resolve a location it needs a list of hotspots that heard the uplink, location of the hotspot and what signal strength it heard the uplink at.

Note: any hotspots with blank locations will be filtered.

A typical payload looks like:

{
    "hotspots": [
        {
            "lat": 52.23153880933455,
            "long": -1.7309963563346425,
            "rssi": -113.0,
        },
        {
            "lat": 52.23153880933455,
            "long": -1.7309963563346425,
            "rssi": -113.0,
        },
        {
            "lat": 52.23153880933455,
            "long": -1.7309963563346425,
            "rssi": -113.0,
        },
    ]
}

Users can then post a lookup to:

https://v2-api.trackpac.io/location-engine/resolve?api_key=XYZ

Example Result

{
    latitude: 0.0000
    longitude: 0.0000
    geocode: "xyz street, xyz location",
}

Wifi Location Lookup

If your device supports sniffing WIFI , you can use our services to resolve location.

Example Payload

{
    "networks": [
        {
            "bssid": "FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF",
            "rssi": -90
        },
        {
            "bssid": "FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FA",
            "rssi": -92
        }
    ]
}

Users can then post a lookup to:

https://v2-api.trackpac.io/location-engine/resolve/wifi?api_key=XYZ

Example Result

{
    latitude: 0.0000
    longitude: 0.0000
    geocode: "xyz street, xyz location",
}
