GNSS and GPS

A major facet of most M2M/IoT applications is being able to locate a remote device or asset at a moments notice and with a high level of accuracy, this is where incorporating positioning technology like GNSS/GPS receivers provide a crucial component.

GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) offer global coverage with support of GPS, GLONASS and QZSS.

The Global Positioning System (GPS), a U.S. space-based global navigation satellite system, the Russian GLONASS and the QZSS (fully operational from 2013) from Japan, all provide reliable positioning, navigation, and timing services to worldwide users on a continuous basis in all weather, day and night, anywhere on or near the Earth.
