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As our statistic system is getting outdated so we are planning to make a bigger development on it.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?

See this thread:

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.
