OpenCellID DataBase VS UnwiredLabs DB

Hello,
we just downloaded OCID Db but we find some missing info. If we ask for same data to unwired labs web service we receive coordinatres. There are some differences? We are asking for a LTE cell in Italy.

Regards,
Gianmaria

Hi Gianmaria,

The OpenCelliD project is maintained by Unwired Labs. (I work for Unwired Labs).

  • The data behind OCID is contributed by the community. We give this data back in the form of a downloadable CSV that is updated on a daily basis.
  • Unwired’s datasets are collected by paying firms to collect data on cell positions. This data is proprietary and is only available via the API due to licensing issues.

The two datasets are entirely different and managed separately.
