Opencellid vs Network Provider

According to this answer, android network provider collects nearby mobile cell information and sends them to a server (supposedly Google servers) to obtain device current location. Is there any technical difference between this service and OpenCellID project? I mean are they both based on the same idea of calculating device location using cell signal strength?



If my app want to use android network provider, then it's enough for my app to declare android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION in manifest but if i want to obtain user location using OpenCellID inside my app, i need to use getNeighboringCellInfo API call to get cell information, but using this API requires android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION. Because of this difference in required permission, i thought that there might be some technical difference between these two approaches for calculating coarse device location.

          Full-time equivalent From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigation Jump to search Full-time equivalent ( FTE ) or whole time equivalent ( WTE ) is a unit that indicates the workload of an employed person (or student) in a way that makes workloads or class loads comparable [1] across various contexts. FTE is often used to measure a worker's or student's involvement in a project, or to track cost reductions in an organization. An FTE of 1.0 is equivalent to a full-time worker or student, while an FTE of 0.5 signals half of a full work or school load.
