Called Here Tracking, it is built on the company’s Open Location Platform and combines several technologies to supply industry-grade maps for indoor venues and outdoor environments with geo-coding capabilities. In addition, the solution also provides indoor-outdoor positioning technology with offline capabilities that enables tracking devices to work longer through an enhanced battery management. Tracking and geo-fencing APIs and analytics API and visualization tools are also featured.

Here is also working with semi-conductor company Airoha and manufacturer of professional telematics and wireless communications products, Concox Information & Technology, to enable its technology to track Concox products powered by select Airoha/Mediatek chipsets. Here Tracking uses its positioning technology to embed power-efficient location sensing algorithms directly on the tracker chipset.
