Getting AGPS data from nRF Cloud

[JackW]

We're developing a custom nRF 9160 based device and our product requires that we also develop our own AWS cloud where we host our own domain, including databases, back-end processing using lambda functions, as well as customer-facing web apps.

Part of our product uses GPS fixes to determine the devices's location.  Up till now we've been using the nRF Cloud for R&D, and one of the things we rely on is the AGPS service available there.

But now we need to move away from the nRF Cloud and onto our own AWS cloud.

My question is: "Is it possible to use the REST API to get the AGPS information from the nRF Cloud and transfer it to our AWS cloud?"

Hello, 

Is it possible to use the REST API to get the AGPS information from the nRF Cloud and transfer it to our AWS cloud?

Yes, it should be fully possible to do this. You use e.g. the message bridge and the location service topics which allows you to forward all devices messages in nRF Cloud to another MQTT broker using your account device. You can also use Location Services in a cloud-to-cloud setup 

Let me know how that works for you, and if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Thanks Øyvind, that's very helpful.

Do you know where nRF Cloud gets its AGPS data?

Thanks again,

Jack

Hi Jack, I',m afraid I don't have those details. Please reach out to your local sales representative, they should be able to provide you  with an answer.

Kind regards,
