Full System Compatibility: Supports BeiDou-3 global network signals (B2a/B3I) and high-precision frequency bands such as GPS L5 and Galileo E5a, increasing the number of satellite acquisitions by 30% (compared to a single GPS system). Positioning success rate in weak signal scenarios such as urban canyons and dense forests increases from 75% to 98%.

2. Anti-interference and Environmental Adaptability
Electromagnetic Interference Suppression: Employing a "double-layer shield (aluminum-magnesium alloy + electromagnetic absorption material) + adaptive filtering technology," interference attenuation is ≥65dB and positioning data error rate is ≤0.001% (industrial grade) in strong electromagnetic environments such as industrial frequency converters and medical equipment (200MHz-2.7GHz).

Low Power Consumption Design: Consumer-grade adopts an "intermittent positioning + sleep/wake-up" mode (daily power consumption ≤1mAh when positioning interval is 1 minute), while industrial-grade dynamically adjusts the signal sampling rate (1Hz in static mode, ≤0.001% in dynamic mode). 10Hz), power consumption reduced by 50%, compatible with battery-powered IoT devices (such as Trackers).
3. Hardware Collaboration and Ecosystem Integration
Deeply compatible with VLG antennas: Consumer-grade devices integrate VLG LDS micro-antennas (40% smaller size, compatible with children's watches); industrial-grade devices pair with VLG high-gain ceramic antennas (38dB gain, 2x extended positioning distance); surveying-grade devices come standard with VLG choke antennas (multipath rejection ratio ≥40dB, improving static accuracy);
Collaborative with Trackers/Gateways: Industrial-grade receivers integrate with VLG Trackers to achieve "asset positioning + status monitoring" (e.g., simultaneous vibration data collection while locating mining equipment). Data is pre-processed through a VLG industrial gateway before uploading, with a latency ≤100ms;
Integrated with medical equipment: In medical rescue scenarios, receivers collaborate with VLG vital signs sensors, binding and transmitting ambulance positioning data with patient heart rate and blood oxygen data. Emergency centers can plan the optimal route in real time (combined with traffic congestion data), reducing rescue time by 20%.

Solution Combination: VLG Consumer-Grade GNSS Receiver (Miniature Module) + Tracker + Children's Watch Case + Mobile App;
Application Logic: The receiver is integrated into the children's watch, supporting BeiDou + GPS dual-mode positioning (outdoor accuracy ≤3 meters). Parents set up electronic fences via the app (e.g., 500 meters around a school). When the child crosses the boundary, the watch triggers an audible and visual alarm and simultaneously pushes the location to the parent's mobile phone;
In intermittent positioning mode (1 time/minute), the watch's battery life is extended from 2 days to 7 days. With a VLG Bluetooth module, it supports "near-range anti-loss" (alarm when the watch and parent's mobile phone are more than 10 meters apart);
