1. The Location Studio IoT Location Platform (ILP) Solution provides multi-sensor hybrid positioning and
assistance data services for all IoT applications. Developed specifically to support the needs of low-
energy devices and multi-network communications, the ILP Solution delivers telco-grade performance
in an over-the-top (OTT) architecture. The ILP offers precise, seamless indoor/outdoor location
determination across a wide variety of devices and applications.
Positioning and Assistance Data
These search capabilities leverage real-time enhanced content to allow users to see their current
location Built upon Comtech’s state-of-the-art Hybrid Positioning Engine (HPE), the ILP Solution can
simultaneously process measurement data from GPS, GLONASS, cellular, WiFi/BLE, LPWAN, and other
sources to deliver the most accurate position estimate possible.
Assistance data is available for enhancing device-based location calculation both indoors and outdoors.
The ILP Solution supports the following location technologies: The ILP supports the following location

Supported Web Service API Protocols
The ILP provides multiple web-service APIs to facilitate rapid integration and to meet the most demanding
communication requirements. Choose from conventional RESTful JSON based web interaction to get
started and switch to Comtech’s eXtensible Message Format (XMF) over HTTP(s) or CoAP for highly
efficient communications supporting a wide array of IOT transports.
Embedded Libraries and Portable API
To facilitate integration and optimized network performance, Comtech offers C and C++ based embedded
libraries provide protocol translation and GNSS calculation functions. The source code is available with an
ILP license with flexible terms and conditions. Libraries include:
• ILP XMF protocol translation (Command/Data translation)
• GNSS Doppler Calculation
The libraries are extremely small in size and highly efficient, making them ideal for low-energy, minimal
computation capability devices.
