IoT Applications
Car Navigation
Car Navigation is one of the classic applications of GPS positioning. GPS allows the users to view their position, direction, speed and overall movement on a given map. This technology can be built-in, typically installed in to the car’s multimedia system. There are also large number of companies providing aftermarket Navigation devices that can easily be installed. Precise positioning and faster time-to-fix are essential for this application. Additionally, due to the varying location of the Navigation device inside the car, it’s important to have a very good antenna design.

Pet Tracking
Pet ownership is on the rise, and so is pet loss. Pets in itself is a multi-billion dollar industry. Pet tracking can be offered as a service by the seller or users can choose from the plethora of devices already available in the market. Unlike cars, trucks or boats; pets are not very large, and therefore precise positioning of the pet is essential. A fluctuation of just 10 meters could make it difficult to find a pet in a crowded area. For better positioning accuracy GPS/Glonass is recommended, however there needs to be a good balance with power consumption as well, since all such devices are not only small but also battery operated.
