Webinar – Finding the Sweet Spot: Better GNSS Accuracy with Less Power

As connected devices become smaller, smarter, and more mobile, developers face a growing challenge: delivering reliable location tracking without sacrificing battery life. Modern GNSS-enabled applications such as asset trackers, vehicle trackers, wearables, and industrial IoT devices require a careful balance between positioning accuracy, power consumption, and development complexity. Fortunately, the latest advancements in standard-precision GNSS technology are helping engineers overcome these competing demands through enhanced positioning performance, intelligent power management, and integrated features that simplify implementation.
In this webinar, Kevin Trümpi, Senior Product Manager for u-blox explores practical strategies for designing battery-efficient GNSS solutions that perform reliably in real-world environments. Learn how recent innovations improve positioning accuracy in challenging conditions such as urban canyons and densely wooded areas while minimizing energy consumption. The session also highlights integrated capabilities that reduce development effort, including built-in geofencing, indoor/outdoor detection, and highly accurate odometer functionality. These field-tested features allow designers to accelerate time-to-market while delivering robust location awareness across a wide range of applications.
