Skyhook launched a new data intelligence service last week called SpotRank. SpotRank predicts the density of people in predefined urban square-block areas worldwide at any hour, any day of the week.

SpotRank is based on data from Skyhook’s Core Engine, which powers the location on tens of millions of devices. With this reach, the Core Engine network processes 300 million location requests daily. Skyhook has developed SpotRank by continually mining this anonymous location data to predict human behavior.

Skyhook provides four types of SpotRanks for 500 million square-block Spots in 770 metro areas around the world. Each Spot is assigned an average for every hour and day of the week. Check out some examples and use-cases of SpotRank here.
