Verizon Wireless and AirSage have entered into an agreement where anonymous data from Verizon Wireless’ network will be used to help AirSage provide real-time traffic information. When the data is fully integrated, more than 12 billion signaling messages across more than 200,000 centerline miles of roadway will power applications for government agencies, businesses and consumers.

“Adding signaling data from Verizon Wireless’ network is a huge win for anyone interested in avoiding traffic and getting reliable, current and predictive travel times between multiple locations,” says Cy Smith, chief executive officer of AirSage. “Millions of people are already using our traffic and travel insights through applications such as Google Maps, Real Traffic, and our AirSage Real-Time Traffic product so we’re thrilled at the opportunity to expand our coverage and enhance our accuracy with the addition of non-identifying location information from Verizon Wireless.”
