Skyhook

Skyhook is a technology company that provides location services by combining data from various sources like Wi-Fi networks, cell towers, and sensors. Unlike GPS, which relies solely on satellite signals, Skyhook's system uses nearby Wi-Fi and cell information to determine a device’s position more quickly and accurately, especially indoors or in urban areas where GPS signals can be weak or obstructed. This allows apps and services to deliver more precise location data for navigation, advertising, or location-based services, improving user experience without draining device batteries excessively.
