Accurate and timely location data is crucial for the effectiveness of IoT devices across industries like logistics, asset tracking, and cold chain monitoring. Location platforms—either outdoor (GNSS-based) or indoor (Wi-Fi/BLE-based)—must be tailored to specific use cases, balancing precision, coverage, power consumption, and cost. While GNSS offers high-precision global tracking, LTE-M provides ideal connectivity for mobile, power-sensitive devices. Simpler applications may rely on less complex technologies like Wi-Fi. As IoT needs evolve and technologies like Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs) emerge, selecting the right location platform becomes increasingly critical.
