2015-02-28 17:31 CET Mozilla Teams up with Combain to Improve Geolocation Combain Mobile AB, a leader in accurate Cell ID and WiFi positioning, is excited to announce a partnership with Mozilla, the mission-based organization dedicated to promoting openness, innovation and opportunity on the Web. Combain will provide fallback services for Mozilla's Location Service, allowing them to send location queries that don't meet an acceptable level of accuracy to Combain for further refinement. Additionally, the two companies will exchange data gathered from their community stumbling efforts. "We are excited to work with Mozilla and provide world class coverage and accuracy for Mozilla's Location Service" said Bjorn Lindquist, CEO Combain Mobile. "With Mozilla's data and our new positioning algorithms, we will be able to further improve Combain Positioning Service (CPS), which in turn will benefit all Firefox and Firefox OS users globally." Mozilla launched its Mozilla Location Service in 2013, and has been growing its map of the world through the stumbling efforts of a community of volunteers and through data exchange partnerships. Volunteers interested in contributing to the effort to improve Mozilla Location Service are encouraged to turn on geolocation stumbling in their Firefox for Android browser, or install the Mozilla Stumbler app from the Play Store. "This deal is a perfect alignment with Mozilla's goals - to grow a community database that will enable companies like Combain to focus on leveraging their algorithmic work for superior results" said Mark Mayo, Mozilla VP for Cloud Services. "Meanwhile, Combain helps us provide a better geolocation service." Mozilla Location Service enables today geolocation across desktop and mobile devices. Geolocation based on Cell ID and WiFi is also ideal for the growing M2M (Machine to machine) and IoT (Internet of Things) markets, where low cost, small size, low power and indoor coverage are essential. Combain targets CPS to be the leading geolocation solution for these markets by continued location algorithm research and creating world ́s largest available Cell ID and WiFi database. Read more: Mozilla Location Services: https://location.services.mozilla.com/ Combain Mobile AB: https://combain.com/ Combain is a world leading provider of positioning solutions for M2M and IoT devices. Combain has one of the world’s largest databases of Cell IDs and WiFis that are used for accurate indoor and outdoor geolocation of connected devices. The database includes more than 54 million Cell IDs and 470 million WiFis from more than 200 countries. The Combain Positioning Service is provided as a cloud-based API. Combain has its headquarters in Lund, Sweden and serves customers world-wide.

Collecting and Processing Geographic Coverage Information of Mobile
Collecting and processing geographic coverage information of mobile networks José Miguel de Carvalho Branco Maia Mestrado Integrado de Engenharia de Redes e Sistemas Informáticos Departamento de Ciência de Computadores 2015 Orientador Sérgio Crisóstomo, Professor Auxiliar, Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade do Porto Coorientador Rui Prior, Professor Auxiliar, Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade do Porto Todas as correções determinadas pelo júri, e só essas, foram efetuadas. O Presidente do Júri, Porto, ______/______/_________ Thanks to all my friends throughout all these years who have done their part to make me who I am. Thanks to my family, for always being there. Thanks to my supervisors, Professor Rui Prior and Professor Sérgio Crisóstomo, for giving me the opportunity to work with them and to learn from them. Obrigado, Muchas gracias, Merci Bien, Tudo é Kanimambo (João Maria Tudela) i ii Abstract Over the last two decades, we have seen an exponential growth in the use of mobile phones. This growth was accompanied by a change in their usage pattern — the access to data services has overtaken voice calling, which was the almost exclusive use of mobile phones. It was also accompanied by a change in the devices themselves, with the market shifting to smartphones. The selection of a mobile service provider can be diﬃcult for the end users, given the lack of unambiguous, accurate and independent information on coverage and quality of the wireless access, including voice and data, with every provider claiming their particular signal quality, network speed and/or pricing is the best. This motivated us to develop a service for measuring mobile network parameters using Android smartphones, and display the data, adequately processed, to the users in a mapping application.

Univerzita Hradec Králové Fakulta informatiky a managementu Katedra informačních technologií Studijní program: Aplikovaná informatika Agregace lokálních informací v cestovním ruchu prostřednictvím geosociálních sítí (disertační práce) Autor: Ing. Jiří Kysela Školitel: prof. RNDr. Josef Zelenka, CSc. Pardubice březen 2016 Poděkování Rád bych touto cestou poděkoval svému školiteli doktorského studia prof. RNDr. Josefu Zelenkovi, CSc. za připomínky, rady a vedení při této práci. Obrovské díky patří i mé partnerce za podporu a velkou pomoc jak při psaní disertační práce, tak i po celou dobu studia a také mé dcerce za každodenní dodávání optimismu. Děkuji i mým rodičům a sestře za trvalou podporu při práci na disertaci. Prohlášení Prohlašuji, že jsem disertační práci zpracoval samostatně a uvedl všechny použité prameny a literaturu, ze kterých jsem čerpal. V Pardubicích 30.3. 2016 Jiří Kysela Anotace Disertační práce se zabývá analýzou možností využití agregace a harmonizace informací z odlišně strukturovaných lokálně kontextových služeb v cestovním ruchu. Jde o rozličné geosociální sítě, poskytující uživatelům lokální informace, jež jsou výsledkem kognice tzv. bodů zájmu v okolí dalších uživatelů. Míra pokrytí podniků v cestovním ruchu těmito body zájmu je analyzována v disertační práci a poté kvantifikována míra navýšení pokrytí při agregaci a harmonizaci geosociálních sítí. Její realizace umožní účastníkům cestovního ruchu kdekoliv v terénu prostřednictvím jednotného informačního zdroje maximalizovat zisk informací. Ty jsou vztažené k místu, kde se právě nachází, tedy k místním subjektům či kulturním akcím, a na jejich základě se může turista kdykoliv a kdekoliv pohotově zorientovat v cestovním ruchu. Práce zahrnuje i koncept aplikace lokálně kontextových služeb pro podporu e-turismu zvýšením úrovně informovanosti účastníků lokálního cestovního ruchu a ve výsledku zlepšením nabídky produktů pro účastníka místního cestovního ruchu.
