    Which IP location database to use

    Hi,

    As our statistic system is getting outdated so we are planning to make a bigger development on it. As our IP location database is a bit outdated too, we are looking for a new one which can works both locating desktop and mobile visitors with high accuracy (country, device, carrier, operating system etc). Which one do you use or recommend?

      We use the Maxmind enterprise databases to geo-locate that you pay for.

      I deduced mobile carrier IPs by their frequency.

      nicinfo (a ruby gem) confirms your findings on the command line.

      Mobile device types are in your logs -- see browser signatures.

      Point and click web tools are just not as accurate unless someone has done a SaaS ...

      We use nosql -- elastic search for production tracking.
