How the Location Technologies Work

LightBug trackers utilize three location technologies in this
order:
1) GNSS location: This is the most accurate location
type
constellations: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou for
the best accuracy). It requires a direct line of sight
with the sky to work. Meaning it will work best
when outdoors or near windows that can see the
sky. The accuracy is usually between 0.5 - 10
meters.
2) WPS (WiFi Positioning System) location: If GNSS
fails the tracker will use any WiFi signals around to
figure out its location. The accuracy is usually
between 10 - 40 meters.
3) Cell tower triangulation: This is the least accurate
location type but it is the last resort if everything
else fails. The tracker will use GSM towers and
triangulate to give you a location update that can
have an accuracy of 200m - 2km.
