Atelier Web IP Locator (AWIPLOC) is a desktop and Windows-based web utility designed to instantly identify the geographic location and network attributes of any IP address. Developed by Atelier Web, it serves security professionals, IT administrators, and digital marketers who need detailed intelligence about Internet connections. Core Technical Capabilities
Dual Protocol Support: The tool fully resolves both older IPv4 and modern IPv6 addresses.
Comprehensive Geolocation Data: It maps target IP addresses to their respective country, region, city, and Internet Service Provider (ISP).
High-Performance Architecture: The software bypasses typical intermediate technology tiers (like Java or .NET) in favor of a specialized, multithreaded, in-memory ISAPI server setup. It processes individual queries in less than one-hundredth of a second.
Local Data Mining: It automatically logs your query history into a local SQLite database. This allows power users to run custom data queries and analyze patterns offline. How the Infrastructure Works
Unlike web-based tools that utilize shared hosting, AWIPLOC relies on a dedicated, high-performance server network maintained directly by Atelier Web. The system queries massive local database tables—spanning millions of global IP ranges—and compresses the returned response data. This proprietary compression reduces required internet bandwidth by up to 90% during high-volume operations. To ensure accuracy, the developer updates its primary geolocation databases at least twice a month. Licensing and Quota Structure
The software utilizes a hybrid freemium tiering system to balance private usage with commercial enterprise needs:
Private Use: It is completely free for occasional private operations. There are no strict expiration dates or blocked features.
The Credit System: Free users receive a starting allowance of 200 IP search credits, which automatically renews on a periodic basis.
Commercial Upgrades: For developers or high-traffic websites that exceed the standard allowance, Atelier Web offers commercial tiers ranging from a 50,000-query starter package up to a heavy-duty 100-million query enterprise licensing plan.
If you are planning to deploy this tool, please let me know:
Will you use it as a standalone desktop tool or integrate it into a Windows website? What is your expected daily query volume?
Do you need to extract the data out of the local SQLite database for external reporting?
