Place Lab

Place Lab is a software platform that helps users determine their exact location using a variety of signals like Wi-Fi networks, Bluetooth devices, and sensor data. It leverages publicly available information to improve location accuracy indoors and outdoors, especially where GPS signals are weak or unavailable. By collecting and processing this data, Place Lab enables mobile devices and applications to provide location-aware services—such as navigation, context-aware notifications, or asset tracking—without relying solely on GPS, making location detection more reliable and versatile across different environments.
