AirSage is an American telecommunications company that specializes in collecting and analyzing anonymous location data, such as cell phone and GPS data, to identify patterns.[3] It does so by tracking mobile phone data using patented technology to capture and analyze mobile phone signal tower data,[4] primarily for the purposes of aiding transportation planning and traffic reporting.[5][6] It currently works with the out-of-home advertising startup Vistar, which uses AirSage's cell phone data to create a map of consumer behavior in the United States.[7]
