Enhance location-based features in applications
Device Location Retrieval - CAMARA Sandbox API is part of the set of Network APIs under CAMARA open-source project by Orange.
This sandboxed version is limited to a short list of mobile devices (MSISDNs) that only work in our lab.
What it does?
The CAMARA Device Location Retrieval API allows to retrieve the mobile device's geographical area position (via a circle in Orange implementation). The retrieved area depends on the network conditions at the subscriber's location.
How it works?
The requester provides the mobile ID. The response provides a geographical area defined with longitude /
latitude number and an accuracy radius.
Following figure provides a high-level view of the API architecture:
