  3. FOUNDED: 2003 Case Study 1 SERIES A: $6M 2005 SERIES B: $16.8M 2008 XPS Technology XPS combines Wi-Fi, GPS, and CellID. XPS builds on top of the Wi-Fi Positioning System (WPS) that is already deployed on tens of millions of mobile devices worldwide. Now that LBS is maintstream, location must  calls \"consumer-ready\" at all times.  Devices  need to produce a  reliable and  accurate location wherever consumers access applications - indoors, outdoors, deep in urban areas or out in the country.  The only way to achieve this  level of consistency is with  a hybrid positioning system that takes advantage of multiple positioning technologies. Apple Partnership / iPhone App Store data Check out the data we have pulled together on location based apps in the app store. As a result of our relationship with Apple, all location based iPhone apps use Skyhook.  Vodafone Mobile Clicks @ PICNIC Amsterdam Rudy De Waele September 26, 2008

  6. FOUNDED: 2003 Case Study 1 SERIES A: $6M 2005 SERIES B: $16.8M 2008 AIM AOL's AIM is the leading instant messaging network in the world. \"Where are you?\" is a common question in conversations on instant messaging programs such as AIM. Licensing Skyhook's Wi-Fi Positioning System, AOL has launched a downloadable location plug-in for AIM that lets its 53 million users directly share their current physical location with their AIM 'buddies. Vodafone Mobile Clicks @ PICNIC Amsterdam Rudy De Waele September 26, 2008
  7. FOUNDED: 2003 Case Study 1 SERIES A: $6M 2005 SERIES B: $16.8M 2008 LOKI Loki demonstrates the power that location brings to the online experience. It is the first location- aware Internet search and navigation application that uses XPS' Wi-Fi Positioning capabilities to pinpoint physical location. By integrating Google Adsense advertisements into the Loki site and driving ad placement based on current location, Skyhook has seen an amazing five percent click-through rate on the ads. This rate is ten times higher than that of standard online text ads. The only difference is that the ads are location-targeted. With MyLoki, Loki's social networking feature, users can quickly find their own location and share it with their friends, on Facebook or Jaiku, with location badges for their blog, or RSS feeds.
