WHITE PAPER

Abstract

Global availability and high accuracy have made satellite-based

positioning a key enabler for a growing number of consumer,

industrial, and automotive tracking applications. Meanwhile,

users continue to expect ever more of the technology in terms of

performance, size, power demand, and cost. Optimally balancing

these characteristics to meet the needs of a specic application

or use case requires a deep understanding of the technology,

hardware, software, and services used. In this white paper, we oer

our insights into strategies to reduce the power consumption of

GNSS-based tracking devices, which we gained in the twenty-

some years of innovating in this area.

Low-power GNSS for

tracking applications

The key trade-os you need to consider to balance

GNSS power consumption, performance, and cost.
