Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) is a term used to describe satellite-based systems that provide geolocation and time information to a GNSS receiver anywhere on Earth, as long as there is an unobstructed line of sight to the satellites. They are used for a wide range of applications across various industries, primarily for determining precise location, navigation, and timing.

Key Features:

  • Positioning: GNSS systems calculate location in terms of latitude, longitude, and altitude.
  • Timing: These systems provide highly accurate time data, essential for many applications.
  • Navigation: Used for real-time navigation and route planning.
  • Global Coverage: GNSS systems provide worldwide accessibility, allowing users to determine location and time anywhere on Earth with an unobstructed view of the sky.
  • Real-Time Kinematic (RTK): Offers centimeter-level precision for specialized applications like surveying.

Common Applications:

  • Navigation: Used in vehicles, airplanes, ships, and personal devices.
  • Surveying: Provides precise location data for construction and land mapping.
  • Agriculture: Assists in precision farming techniques.
  • Disaster Response: Helps in search-and-rescue operations and mapping disaster-affected areas.
  • Autonomous Systems: Powers self-driving cars and drones.
  • and more.
