With the addition of Ookla’s network intelligence, routes can be further optimized to maximize network connectivity throughout each trip. When Speedtest technologies are enabled, Mapbox will gain visibility into predicted connectivity, enabling route optimization and the ability to preload directions or other pertinent data prior to entering an area with degraded network capabilities.įor example, Straightaway, Mapbox’s leading app for optimally planning delivery routes at scale, utilizes Mapbox’s Navigation SDK to pair a long list of addresses with live traffic data resulting in hours saved every day. Mapbox’s Navigation SDK and the recently announced Mapbox Dash will maintain functionality in areas with low or no available connectivity thanks to the integration of network intelligence from Ookla. Mapbox customers will gain the option to enable connectivity awareness features, opening up limitless potential for sophisticated network-aware offerings.

Ookla’s unrivaled network intelligence to enhance Mapbox’s products Combining elements of these platforms will produce geospatial intelligence with precise location accuracy that showcases the availability and capabilities of network connectivity around the world. This massive audience enables Mapbox to dynamically maintain maps of the world that are constantly refreshed via consumer feedback.

Similarly, Mapbox enables developers to build real-time location awareness into their own apps, which are accessed by over 600 million users each month. Ookla collects hundreds of millions of network performance and quality measurements around the world every day through their Speedtest platform. Ookla and Mapbox are uniquely positioned to revolutionize geospatial network analysis and connectivity-aware mapping features through their combined capabilities and expertise. Both companies will be collaborating on technologies that deliver significant new value to their respective customers. Ookla and Mapbox are engaging in a global partnership to create network-aware mapping solutions.
