== Existing Data Source ==

Note: Some data are shared between projects, for example OpenBmap imports data from opencellid.org on a regular basis and Enaikoon started based on an older snapshot of opencellid.org data.


As a reference, Skyhook Wireless claims to have a combined 700M APs + cell towers.
A good starting point for related projects is Wikipedia, both http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_ID and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_positioning_system

We haven't imported or share data with any of these projects, based on different commercial/license terms. The only exception to that is OpenCellID where we are also hosting their aggregate data set, but keep it separate for license reasons.
