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.

Golioth Pipelines enable determining device position without changing hardware or firmware by leveraging location service platforms.

This is a simple way to provide alerts (or any other actions) when an IoT device goes outside of a defined physical location.

Then he shows how a new system in Zephyr makes it easier than ever to set up communication.
