Dear Stavros,

in our perspective it’s ok not using Location GE as long as there are other
relevant and core enablers used.
If you want you may present your current project architecture to our FIWARE
coach (fiware-soulfi-coaching@lists.fi-ware.org) and look for
additional advices/ inputs regarding your development.
regards,
