We have data collectors all over the world that feed our database of information, and that information is processed by both intelligent automated algorithms as well as experienced human analysts. Quova actively collects and analyzes data 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We are devoted to improving the process of mapping the Internet. Over the past ten years Quova has built a powerful and sophisticated research system for understanding and interpreting worldwide IP address data. We will work with you to help you determine the best combination of IP intelligence to produce the highest level of quality and results. We have more IP geolocation experts than all other vendors combined. Each technology adds a level of certainty to W3C geolocation. The technologies used are: IP Geolocation, GPS, Wi-Fi Positioning and Cell Tower Triangulation. The imperfections in each solution overlap with the geolocation capacities of the others, so the combination is a sort of perfect basket that allows for any computer connected to the Internet to find where it’s located.
Standardization isn’t as easy as it seems, as geolocation isn’t so much about a single program as it is a collection of several disparate programs, each of which provides an imperfect solution to the problem. W3C Geolocation is the World Wide Web Consortium’s attempt to standardize this technology for use in any web-related application for a client-side device.
