Mozilla Location Service (MLS) is an open geolocation service which allows devices to find their position by processing their received signals of publicly observable radio transmitters: cellular network antennae (and their Cell IDs), Wi-Fi access points (and their BSSIDs), and Bluetooth beacons.[1][2] The service is provided by Mozilla since 2013.[3] The service uses Mozilla's open source software project called Ichnaea.[4]

In February 2019 MLS had collected more than 44.43 million unique cell networks and 1450 million unique WiFi networks[5] (April 2018: 37.7 million UCN and 1145 million UWN,[6] November 2016: 28 million UCN and 757 million UWN,[7] November 2015: 17 million UCN and 427 million UWN[8]).

In March 2024, it was announced that MLS will be retired. Functionality will be reduced in stages until the project is archived in July. [9]
