Skyhook has developed a proprietary set of geometries to map each location to deliver the most accurate and timely geo-locational retail footfall. Skyhook analyzes billions of location samples from mobile devices monthly.
Skyhook’s patented VenueLock technology uncovers locations and infrastructure based on WIFI signal. Metered Venues tables provide store-level operational status, WiFi infrastructure details and WiFi signal-measured and geometry-measured place-of-business data.
