Tracking Our CEO at CES

We used Golioth Location to build an application that keeps up with Golioth CEO Jonathan Beri at CES 2025.

Golioth Location Private Access

Today we are launching Golioth Location in private access. This service offers network positioning functionality, allowing devices to leverage the same radios (e.g. cellular and Wi-Fi) used for communicating with Golioth to obtain location information. Doing so may extend battery life, reduce hardware costs, and enable more rapid acquisition of a device’s position.
