GNSS - More Than just GPS

At TWIG, we understand that positioning technology is crucial for the safety and efficiency of lone worker protection solutions. When we talk about location accuracy, many people only think of GPS. However, GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) offers a more comprehensive and reliable approach to positioning that goes beyond just the American GPS system. With multiple satellite constellations working together, GNSS ensures the highest level of precision and coverage, even in the most challenging environments.

Why GNSS?

Reliability and Accuracy

GNSS integrates several satellite constellations, including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou. This multi-system approach provides robust positioning even in areas where a single system may struggle, such as urban canyons or dense forests.

Faster Location Fix

Utilizing more satellites significantly reduces the time needed to determine a device's location, a crucial factor for lone worker safety in emergencies.

Worldwide Coverage

Whether your workforce operates in remote regions or densely populated urban centers, GNSS ensures that they are never out of reach.

AGNSS: Accelerating Precision and Speed

Assisted GNSS (AGNSS) takes GNSS technology a step further by enhancing performance through assistance data. AGNSS provides additional information to the receiver, such as satellite position and timing data, which dramatically speeds up the process of acquiring a location fix.

Key Benefits of AGNSS

Reduced Time-to-First-Fix

By providing assistance data, AGNSS ensures location information is available quickly, even in areas where satellite signals may be weak.

Greater Accuracy

AGNSS improves positioning performance in environments like dense urban areas or under heavy canopy, where traditional GNSS may struggle.

Enhanced Battery Life

Faster location acquisition means less power consumption, extending the battery life of our safety devices.

How AGNSS Works with TWIG Devices?

TWIG devices are designed to leverage AGNSS, ensuring they provide reliable and rapid location updates. This technology helps keep lone workers safe by making sure their location can be pinpointed and communicated to emergency responders without delay.
