Sora is a cloud-based data platform for developing location-enabled applications. Sora handles the real-time acquisition, storage, analysis, and visualization of both location and device data to enable users to build powerful geospatial applications.


Sora includes an open-source device client for real-time data acquisition, managed storage of device telemetry, a geospatial analytics engine, and data visualization features. 


Sora is currently available through a beta release at sora.swiftnav.com.


Sora open-source device client source code is available on github.com/swift-nav/sora-device-client
