About LBS Platform

The major components of an LBS platform are the location platform and infrastructure providers, location middleware providers, location technology developers, GNSS chipsets and assistance server providers, location platform aggregators, and database providers.
Apart from these, an LBS platform can be used for location-based advertisements, location-based searches, indoor positioning, and location-based analytics.
