how do you get the realtime density? From cellular operators? Or maybe extrapolating from installed apps base?

it's a mix of both actually, we found best accuracy through networks and data connection. any thoughts on this? you think this could be useful in some cases?

    1. Retail Analytics
    2. Bar/pub Analytics - where to go out tonight?
    3. Internal security (how many people attended the demonstration?)
    4. Traffic jams (if you know people are moving fast or slow)
    5. Optimizations for public transit

There are several security companies analyzing data from cellular operators, the problem that they need to build or recalibrate their models for each geography.

How can I contact you?

that's interesting. google me to get in touch.
