Combain Mobile AB, commonly known as Combain, is a Swedish positioning technology company that provides location-based services globally. The company offers solutions for both global geolocation and accurate indoor positioning.
Combain has developed one of the world's largest positioning databases, which is used for precise indoor and outdoor positioning.[1] The Combain Location API, which competes with Google's geolocation API, utilizes this extensive database.
The company has also introduced new positioning technologies. One notable innovation is an AI-based indoor positioning system that utilizes deep learning techniques.[2] This system enables cost-efficient and accurate indoor positioning.
In 2023, Combain announced a partnership with Druid Software to provide 5G positioning in private networks.[3] This collaboration aims to enable accurate indoor and global location services for enterprise 5G private networks.
History
Combain Mobile AB was founded in 2009 by Bjorn Lindquist and Rikard Windh. The company initially operated as Combain Consulting HB, conducting positioning research for Sony Ericsson from 2007. The primary objective was to enhance or replace power-consuming GPS systems in mobile phones by leveraging radio signals and a location database. Combain anonymously crowdsourced location data from millions of devices, leading to the creation of one of the world's few global positioning databases.[4][5]
In 2015, Combain received recognition for its achievements. It was awarded as a winner in the Red Herring Europe competition, acknowledging its innovation and success.[6] Additionally, Combain was listed in the '33-listan' as one of the most promising and innovative tech startups in Sweden.[7]
Combain was sued by Skyhook in 2019, but an agreement was reached and Skyhook and Combain announced a collaboration in a common press release issued in April 2020.[8][9]
