LONDON – Digital Element, the leading provider of IP geolocation technology, today announced that eXelate, a global leader in smart data and analytics, has deployed its NetAcuity Edge™ hyperlocal geolocation technology across the company’s product suite to enhance advertising targeting capabilities for clients.
“We are delighted to be working with eXelate, delivering the benefits of hyperlocal geotargeting to their business”
eXelate’s smart data platform provides accurate, actionable, agile data and analytics on online household demographics, purchase intent, and behavioural propensities.

We required industry-leading technology to meet our high standards of data accuracy, so selecting a well-established and trusted IP geolocation provider was an obvious choice.”
