Cell Tower

Cell Tower Triangulation provides generalized location results with only 200 - 1000 meter accuracy. It serves as a coverage fallback when neither GPS nor WPS is available. Skyhook maintains a worldwide database of cell tower locations, which increases the XPS coverage area and helps improve GPS satellite acquisition time. Cell Tower Triangulation can also improve power utilization by helping XPS intelligently enable/disable communication radios depending on the location accuracy required.
