GPS Specifications…
Time to First Fix (TTFF) in Seconds, 95% Probability
E.g. 50 seconds TRAP: 2D vs 3D Fix?
Cold Start First Position Fix Accuracy, 99% Probability
E.g. <100m TRAP: Not having Ephemeris, time to download
Static Position Accuracy, 99% Probability
E.g. 5m CEP TRAP: What happens the other 50%
Power Consumption
E.g. 180mw typical, 200mw TRAP: Must have deep sleep LP
mode
Power-down (<10ua) as soon as 3D Fix obtained

GPS Case Study: No GPS Location Fix on Lot 11
Only Occurs at 7AM at this Specific Lot
GPS Fix occurs at 8AM, 9AM 11AM, etc
Sources of Interference
Coherent CW:
Specific Spectral Line Interference
Signal within 2 MHz Bandwidth
Pulsed Broadband:
Peak AWGN interference power, Varied Duty Cycle
Aluminum Processing Plant 1 Block Away!!
Pulsed CW
Peak CW Interference Power, Varied Duty Cycle
Signal Attenuation
Signal Attenuation from Multipath, Signal Blockage or Fading
Selected Satellite Signal is Attenuated

GPS Case Study 2: Poor Position Accuracy
Greater than 50m Errors, Stationary Asset Will “move” 200 meters
2D vs 3D Fix
2D = 3 Satellites Received, 3D = 4 Satellites Received
Why 4 Satellites?
Accurate Positioning Requires Very Precise Timing Measurement
Takes .06 Seconds for Signal to Reach Ground
At 300,000 Km/s 1/1,000,000 sec error => 300m Position Errors
Satellites have atomic clocks, two rubidium and two cesium
Receivers have only quartz clocks
Problem identified with NMEA Diagnostics Tool => 2D Fix Received
Only
Could wait 20 min for 3D but Solution was to Change GPS Chip Set

Gives us… “visibility for customer service, and the ability to update the positioning of equipment around the country. This helps our Operations group plan capacity as new orders come in.” - Bekins Van Lines
“We’re looking to data we’ll be able to harvest from the new GE VeriWise™ features coming online, such as geo-fencing, to get us where we need to be from a reliability and security standpoint.” - G&P Trucking
“Via our website, we currently offer our customers the best shipment-tracking system available…We’re in the process of integrating the GE VeriWise™ technology with this system; together they allow us to track more than the shipment; we can track down to the SKU. That will allow us to really bring this technology to bear on our entire operation.” -
