What is a Location SDK?

A powerful signal of intent

An SDK is a piece of software that runs inside mobile apps and allows for the detection of location signals
It is always-on and running in the background of an app (when enabled by the user)
SDKs can be used in conjunction with beacons to provide more granular location insights to power a multitude of use cases
