IPligence Geolocation Solutions
Today there are more than 1000 million internet users, a number which increases geometrically, as a direct result of the multiplication of the huge offer of services and products online.
It is now much more important to be able to physically locate our customer or visitor to be able to do effective geo-targeting, comply with localized legislation, eliminate business risk/fraud or maximize profit per client – visit.
In anticipation of your needs, IPligence offers you ip location solutions in the following areas:
Why Geolocation?
The benefits of geo-location may sound complex, but a simple example may help illustrate the possibilities. Consider a traveling businessman currently on the road to another city. After checking into his hotel, he pulls out his laptop and hops onto the wireless Internet access point provided by the hotel. He opens his chat program as well a Web browser. His friends and family see from his chat profile that he currently is away from home. Consequently, they can determine his local current time. By pulling up a Web browser the businessman can do a localized search to find nearby restaurants and theaters.
Without having to know the address of the hotel he’s staying in, the chat program and Web pages can determine his location based on the Internet address through which he is connecting. The following week, when he has returned to his home, he uses his laptop to log into a chat program, and his chat profile correctly places him in his home city. There is no need to change computer configurations, remember addresses or even be aware, as the user, that you are benefitting from geo-location services.
Possible applications for geolocation by IP address exist for banking applications, chat programs, user communities, forums, distributed computing environments, security, urban mapping and network robustness, online stores, etc… We encourage you to find out what applications and Web sites currently employ geolocation or could be enhanced by adding support.
