In today's fast-evolving digital world, IP geolocation technology is essential for countless applications. At BigDataCloud, we're thrilled to share a major milestone: our innovative IP geolocation technology has been granted a US patent, officially recognised as US Patent No. 11,792,110 B2 (publication US20210234790A1). This achievement highlights our commitment to advancing precision in geolocation services.
What Makes Our IP Geolocation Technology Innovative?
BigDataCloud's patented IP geolocation solution represents a breakthrough in digital location accuracy. Unlike traditional methods that often deliver vague or outdated data, our approach provides deeper insights, enhanced security, and superior reliability. This sets a new standard for industries relying on precise location information.
Key features of our technology include:
- Non-intrusive discovery: We identify the entire routable IP address space, mapping all public routing paths worldwide.
- Router interface classification: We record and categorise every detected global router interface.
- Service area estimation: Using a select set of IP addresses with verified geolocations (ground truth data), we calculate the actual coverage area for each router interface.
- Precise location prediction: By pinpointing the nearest router interface and its service area, we estimate locations for every accessible IP address globally.
- Accuracy metrics: As the only provider offering full transparency, we include an active region indicator showing where an IP address is likely operating, based on the latest network and ground truth data.
