Overview

What is it?

DOTS IP Address Validation (IPV) is a programmable XML Web Service hosted by Service Objects that allows businesses to integrate IP-based location information, distance calculation, and other geographic intelligence into Web-enabled applications and business processes. It offers wide-area coverage for Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America.

Why use DOTS IP Validation?

The combination of multi-source triangulation of location, and outstanding anonymous proxy detection, make DOTS IP Validation among the top geolocation solutions.

What does it do?

DOTS IP Validation is the only geolocation service that calculates an IP’s locations by triangulation of multiple data sources in real time. This technique yields outstanding coverage and leading accuracy for IP addresses worldwide.

In addition, the service collects anonymous proxy data from 165,000 computers, scattered across the world, acting as listening posts. These computers provide insight to other computers that are participating in malicious behavior.
