What is GPS?
GPS stands for Global Positioning System, which is a system that uses a series
of 24 geosynchronous satellites to provide location data.
GPS satellites transmit signals to equipment on the ground. GPS receivers
passively receive satellite signals, but do not transmit.
Various GPS standards exist for the User Plane and Control Plane. For more
information, see "What is GPS User Plane?" and "What is GPS Control Plane?" on
page 93.
