Location APIs for reliable, secure location signals

Unreliable or spoofed GPS data can lead to business fraud and user security risks. Location APIs use mobile network operator data to provide secure and trusted location information for authentication, fraud prevention, and customized services. This approach can ensure accurate user validation, real-time asset tracking, and dependable location-based services.

 

Aduna’s Location API roadmap

Verify and retrieve device location using trusted network data. Our Location APIs power real time validation, geofencing, and accurate location services at scale.

Device Location Verification

The Device Location Verification API uses mobile network data to determine whether a device is within a specified geographic area. It allows you to validate customer presence for safe transactions, prevent fraudulent access from unauthorized locations, and verify delivery addresses before dispatching goods or emergency services.

Device Location Retrieval

The Device Location Retrieval API provides location coordinates from mobile network data, eliminating the need for GPS or application permissions. This feature helps prevent fraud in location-based transactions, supports the delivery of region-specific content and offers, and provides accurate tracking for fleet management or asset monitoring.

Device Geofencing Subscription

The Device Geofencing Subscription API sends real-time alerts when a mobile device enters or leaves a defined geolocation area. Use it to track goods, enable location-based promotions, or monitor restricted zones.

 

Deliver reliable location intelligence across every environment

 

Improve location accuracy in GPS-challenged areas

  • Leverage carrier‑grade mobile network positioning with real‑time accuracy and reliability.
  • Get accurate, trusted, and reliable location data in indoor, rural, and other low-signal environments.

Increase resilience in real-time service delivery

  • Confirm proximity to drop-off or pickup locations for deliveries.
  • Improve driver and passenger safety for ride-sharing and mobility services.
  • Support trusted location tracking for emergency and public sector services.

Enhance fraud prevention through tamper-resistant verification

  • Combat the risk of GPS spoofing by confirming location via the network rather than device.
  • Prevent unauthorized and fraudulent access to services and transactions based on geography.

Scale and standardize privacy-compliant deployment

  • Streamline development by deploying the same API across multiple providers and regions.
  • Maintain customer privacy with operator-managed consent and data handling built into the API framework.

Eliminate unreliable GPS signals in challenging locations

GPS technology struggles in dense cities, remote areas, and underground or indoor environments. Carrier-verified location intelligence mitigates routing errors, safety incidents, and location-based fraud in scenarios where accuracy is critical for service delivery, security, and safety.

Improving urban mobility, logistics, and security

Location APIs provide carrier-trusted location when GPS fails or is spoofed. For example:

  • Financial services can validate user presence during transactions or account logins.
  • Logistics and delivery apps can confirm device proximity for drop-offs or pickups.
  • Ride-sharing and mobility services can improve safety by validating driver or rider presence.

By confirming whether a device is within the target area, you can lower the risk of location manipulation while ensuring continuous service in challenging environments.
