Overview
|
The
Senior Care Device System envisioned by Activecare, Inc. requires the design and
development of three entities:
Senior
Care Wrist Device (SWD): a wrist device with voice communication function
through the Senior Companion Device (SCD) by Bluetooth connection, fall
detection is supported in this wrist device, an internal battery is built in
SWD. SWD needs to be waterproof to meet the IP67 standard.
Senior
Companion Device (SCD): a companion device with the SWD providing the voice
communication and GPS location data, all other over-the-air configuration and
data transmission functions through the GSM/GPRS network, fall detection is
supported in this companion device, an internal battery is built in
SCD.
Docking
Station (DS), a Docking charger station to provide charging for the
SCD.
The
Senior Companion Device allows the Active Service Center to detect the location
of a senior person during an emergency case such as a “fall down”
condition or the press of the “help” button of the device. It makes
use of a GPS receiver to determine the user’s position and a cellular
wireless link to communicate these coordinates to the center. If no
GPS signal is available, it will try to report the Cell ID of the GSM/GPRS
network back to the Active Service Center. The Active Service Center shall
contact the user and enable two way communication whenever the cellular signal
of the device is adequate. Automatic alerts can be sent to the Active Service
Center when the user travels outside a specified area (Geo-Fence) or a fall is
detected. The SWD will not be waterproof.
The
Senior Care Wrist Device (SWD) is to be worn on user’s wrist to provide a voice
communication function through the Senior Companion Device through
a Bluetooth connection, working as the Bluetooth speaker. An
accelerometer sensor is built into the Senior Care Wrist Device (SWD) to provide
a fall detection function. Once a fall is detected and the Bluetooth connection
with the Senior Companion Device is available, automatic alerts can be sent to
the Active Service Center. There is a limitation of connection range between
Senior Care Wrist Device (SWD) and Senior Companion Device, it is designed to be
100 meters to maintain a voice connection and 100 meters for command
transmission in open area, to meet the Bluetooth Class 1 standard. Once there is
Senior Care Wrist Device (SWD) out range of the connection limitation, an alert
voice will be generated. SWD needs to be waterproof to meet the
IP67standard.
The
Docking Station (DS) is used to recharge both the Wrist Device and the Companion
Device. If it is determined that it is more advantageous to incorporate a third
party charger, then the mechanical and electronic development will be reduced.
The Docking Station (DS) is powered by an off-the-shelf AC adapter to exploit
the cost advantage and avoid the associated UL certification costs. This also
permits the easy replacement of the power source in case the Docking Station
(DS) suffers a lightning strike. AC adapters commonly include ample surge
protection to guard against most power surges commonly experienced on urban
power grids.

The
rechargeable batteries that power the Senior Care Wrist Device (SWD) and the
Senior Companion Device are recommended to be Lithium-Poly type to leverage high
capacity and environmentally friendly characteristics. Temperature and current
protection devices will eliminate the potential for injury to the
user.
All
detail specification of Senior Wrist Device and Senior Companion Device and
Docking Station are defined in reference documents: GW100 Technical
Specification and GA100 Technical Specification and Appendix A Product
Definition for ActiveOne+.

|
The
hardware being created is targeted for a volume production of 100,000
pieces.
|
Cost
of Goods
Device
& Charger
|
The
target hardware cost of goods for each device “system” (consisting of one
each of a SWD, SCD, DS) is expected to be no more than $160 US
for a quantity of 100,000
|
5.1.2
|
SYSTEM
ACCESSIBILITY
|
This
statement of work includes a reasonable number of fallback scenarios in an
effort to minimize the likelihood of a device not connecting to a server.
Devices making use of the cellular network and associated internet
infrastructure are subject to those systems’ quality of service and
availability. The device will make every attempt to engage these systems however
their availability is not under its control.
5.1.3
|
SYSTEM
RELIABILITY
|
This
statement of work and associated specifications do not include specific
requirements for the ActiveCare Service Center or its
database(s). Quectel recommends the use of redundant or back-up
equipment to ensure service. Dual servers, gateways and geographic separation
can greatly improve server availability, reliability and fault tolerance
(equipment failure) at the expense of additional equipment and operating
expenses. The ActiveCare Service Center is the responsibility of ActiveCare
Inc..

Development
Strategy
|
Normally,
it will take about 8 months to develop devices described of this scope, however
Quectel has done everything within its power to accelerate the development to
complete it substantially sooner. The following figure outlines the estimated
development timeline. Please note that this estimated development timeline
requires both sides to work closely on product definition, prototype
confirmation, working sample testing and confirmation, field testing,
golden sample confirmation, etc. Any delay schedule extended in these actions
may lead to the delay of whole schedule.
Refer to
the disbursement schedule for the milestone payments. This schedule
is subject to change as engineering changes are evaluated and/or
implemented.

ASSUMPTIONS
The
following assumptions have been made concerning the development effort
scope.
·
|
No
AMPS operation. Analog cellular will not be
supported.
|
·
|
The
server application may be developed under a separate
contract.
|
·
|
The
performance of the cellular network and GPS receiver is subject to
location and is beyond the control of Quectel, the device, and ActiveCare,
Inc.
|
·
|
Quectel
will perform lab tests on all
devices.
|
·
|
ActiveCare,
Inc. will perform field trials and
evaluations
|
·
|
ActiveCare
Inc. will be responsible for certification testing and submission
fees. Submission to the FCC is expected to occur at the
pre-production milestone coincident with the beginning of the
manufacturing phase. This makes the assumption that no
additional changes would be required pending FCC approval. If
changes are required, the manufacturing completion milestone may be
affected.
|
·
|
Quectel
will be responsible for the costs associated with assemblies, prototype
chargers and engineering samples. These have been included in
the NRE charger.
|
6.1
|
COMMUNICATIONS
MODEL
|
The
communications model used to exchange data between the device and the server is
a combination of encrypted packet data and SMS messages. In most cases, the
device will communicate with the server through the GPRS connect to save
communication cost, only in some specified cases such as an emergency alert,
device is in a call, or GPRS connection is not available shall the device
exchange data with the server by SMS messages. Details of
the communication model for each case are defined in the description
as appendix A. It has been Quectel’s experience that the communications model
may change as development proceeds and priorities shift from one item to
another. For this reason, the communications model is designed to be flexible
and can accommodate moderate changes very easily.
6.2
|
REMOTE CONTROL AND
MANAGEMENT
|
The
remote control and operational management of the device is accomplished through
the use of the wireless communications modem. Command messages may
arrive via SMS or IP data packets but will be treated in the same fashion.
Responses and acknowledgements are handled according to the delivery mechanism.
Messages sent from any originating source on the internet will arrive at the
device via the modem, after which they are decoded and processed. The
communication model will be defined in an API Description, which will
include
·
|
theory
of operation
|
·
|
a
definition of the protocols involved (such as UDP, TCP, IP, SMS or other
messaging protocols as needed)
|
·
|
device
function definitions (including status, request, response and
acknowledgement message
descriptions)
|
·
|
For
both SMS and GPRS packets, provide standardized definition of packet
construct including standardized packet headers and defined
fields.

transmission
and exception handling rules implemented in the Senior Care
Devices. Including rules and methods implemented for
retransmission, error detection, packet handshaking (including ack/nack
protocols);
|
·
|
some
example messages.
|
6.3
|
GPS
|
The GPS
receiver used in the Senior Care Companion Device will make use of the US
government’s system of global positioning satellites to derive the location of
the device as represented by a latitude and longitude coordinate pair. Since
selective availability (SA) has been turned off, all GPS receivers have the same
access to the GPS signal. As well a data channel contained in the GPS signal
provides the ephemeris data (almanac) used by the receiver to correct for
atmospheric effects and satellite orbit.
Quectel
will design the Senior Care locationing services based solely on autonomous GPS
operation using a high accuracy SirRF Star III or MTK MT3329
receiver.
6.4
|
WATERPROOF
DESIGN
|
The
design of the Senior Care Wrist Device shall be waterproof the meet
the standard of IP67. The Senior Care Companion Device does not need
to be waterproof.
6.5
|
SOFTWARE
MODEL
|
The
software will be created using a modular approach to ease porting portions of
the embedded application to future devices. Software is fully version controlled
and version numbers can be determined by the system or locally through the
Senior Care Wrist Device or Senior Care Companion Device data
cables. Version number is also reported in response to remote command
requests. The software design will contain state diagrams or charts
for ease of maintenance and modification. Built in test will be utilized
wherever appropriate.
-
Configuration Parameters (operating values) will be retained in non-volatile
memory; these parameters will assume a default factory configuration and will be
configurable from the diagnostic interface or via the over-the-air
interface.
- It is
expected that all timestamps will be in UTC time to eliminate time zone and
daylight savings ambiguity,
6.6
|
SERVICABILITY
|
Since the
device electronics may be buried in the case it may not be possible to service
all components. The design of the Senior Care Devices will focus on creating a
core engine that could be replaced without de-soldering components to ease the
serviceability of the device. The SIM card will be readily serviceable by the
ActiceCare Service Center. The battery can be
serviceable.
6.7
|
FORWARD
ACCOMODATION
|
Service
protocols and formats are to allow for future projects. For
example, future products may require enhanced feature based on current protocols
to report more information or parameters to server, then a new command in
protocol will be created instead of changing the original command, in this way,
the updated protocol can keep the forward accommodation with previous
protocol.

Functional
Milestones
|
7.1
|
SOW AND MOBILIZATION
PAYMENT
|
This
portion of the development is initiated by the signing of the SOW and the
disbursement of the mobilization payment. These funds are used to initiate the
engineering effort (50%).
Prior to
concept signoff, GA100 (Companion Device) Technical Specification and GW100
(Wrist Device) Technical Specification and Product Definition for
ActiveOne+ be completed and submitted for review as part of this
statement of work.
On each
milestone, Activecare should give feedback or confirmation to Quectel within two
weeks or time to be agreed by both parties, otherwise the schedule as proposed
may be delayed.
7.2
|
CONCEPT SIGNOFF
MILESTONE
|
Acceptance
of the specifications and statement of work is integral to this
milestone.
At this
stage, the statement of work is set. Changes or revisions to the
project scope, deliverables, specifications, product design, or other relevant
sections in the statement of work are still possible or may even be required
after concept signoff. Since changes or revisions may impact the
schedule and/or cost, they must be discussed between Quectel and ActiveCare and
will be subject to an Engineering Change process. To facilitate this,
an Engineering Change Request (ECR) is generated by either ActiveCare or
Quectel. Upon acceptance of the ECR, an Engineering Change Order
(ECO) will be generated by QUECTEL to document changes. This document
will supplement and/or supercede relevant sections in the Statement of Work or
other ECOs.

LAB PROTOTYPE
MILESTONE (HAND-BUILT CNC
SAMPLES)
|
The
laboratory prototypes constitute the earliest deliverable hardware. ID/MD work
shall be finished in this stage, the hand built casing samples and the first
version of electronics boards shall be ready. Two (2) sets of product prototype
samples (PPS) for the companion and wrist devices will be provided to
demonstrate the proof-of-concept and feasibility and operation. Additional sets
may be available at a cost of $ 500 (USD) each.
The
devices support the functions as listed below. Due to the time constraints, the
product prototype samples (PPS) will only support some basic
functions.
PPS
samples will be used by QUECTEL engineers to aid in development of the firmware
and electronics. As development proceeds, firmware and hardware
modifications may be made to these devices to enhance their performance. It is
important to note that since these devices will be superceded by the working
samples, their usefulness may be short lived and may not be maintained for the
life of the development project. This platform will be delivered to ActiveCare
to permit preliminary demonstrations and marketing activities.
A
payment, associated with this milestone, is used to make 100% of hard casing
tool charge.
Quectel
will authorize their vendor to start fabrication of the casing tools
after ActiveCare confirms the mechanical design of the two devices (WD, CD)
based on the PPS samples and final payment for this stage.
7.3.1
|
COMPANION
DEVICE
|
The first
version of electronics board shall be ready in this stage .The ID/MD design is
finished and several hand built casings will be made to prove the design. There
are still some possible changes to the MD design before making the formal casing
tools.
Some
basic functions such as obtaining a GPS fix or making a phone call may be
supported if the antenna is ready. But please note the main purpose of PPS
samples is to prove the MD design. The adjusting of antenna will need about 1
week. If Active Care wants to get the PPS for confirmation and move to next
stage soon, Quectel will send out the PPS samples without antenna. Otherwise
Quectel will wait for the antennas to build final PPS samples which can support
GPS fixing and phone call.
Please
note at this stage the Bluetooth function is still in developing and debugging.
It is possible that the Bluetooth function still can’t demo.

COMPONENT LEAD
TIME
|
The
normal component lead time Quectel can achieve is 8 weeks, but Quectel can not
assure the component lead time to be as short as 8 weeks. Quectel will try its
best during the design to shorten the component lead time to 8 weeks, but the
component lead time in market is out of the control of Quectel.
It is
Quectel’s responsibility to purchase adequate stock of components and material
to ensure engineering devices can be fabricated, but it is ActiveCare’s
responsibility to place orders for more devices for field trial, marketing
promotion and volume sale, etc.

BLUETOOTH FUNCTION
RANGE
|
The Class
1 Bluetooth communication range needs to be 100 meters in open area. For the
real Bluetooth communication range will highly depend on the communication
environment, the communication range could be less than 100 meters in some
special environment such as a building made of reinforced concrete.

MOQ
and Lead-time
|
MOQ
(Minimum Order Quantity) for the Senior Care Devices is 2,000 pieces per order.
The normally lead-time for material purchasing is 8 weeks, there is also extra
1-2 weeks for manufacturing and export. So the lead-time for purchase order to
delivery will be about 9-10 weeks. Quectel will try his best to meet or even
shorten this delivery lead-time, but Quectel can not warranty this lead-time for
the lead-time of material purchasing in market will change at different time
point and is not under control of Quectel.
Strategic
procurement may be necessary due to long lead-time components or materials, or
EOL of any critical components after years of runing. In such an
event, Quectel will inform Active, Inc. as early as possible to the lead-times
for these items so that Activecare can purchase them in a timely
manner. This will minimize any potential impact on the production
delivery schedule.

Appendix
A - Product Definition for ActiveOne+
Issue
Date: 2009-10-20

Overview
|
The
purpose of this document is to provide a vision for the function of the product
and its use by the elder client, post operative patient, or those requiring
home-based assistance. This document will be used to develop the
product and functional specifications. It will also drive the
industrial design effort to create a product design that is nicely styled,
functional, and accommodating to the user. The goal is to develop a
product platform that will be well-received in the marketplace and can go
head-to-head with the competition’s current or next generation
offerings.
2.0
|
Definition
of User
|
|
2.1.
|
The
end user may be an elderly customer who is experiencing some symptoms of
aging that result in a decrease in certain abilities These impairments may
be in the following categories:
|
|
2.1.1.
|
Vision
– A decrease in the ability to see objects close by both with or without
glasses making it a challenge to read the text on an LCD
screen. A reduction in melanin accompanies age progression
resulting in the need for increased illumination or contrast to see
details such as product graphics (labels) for
buttons.
|
|
2.1.2.
|
Hearing
– A decrease in hearing ability in one or both ears would require an
increase in volume for spoken messages from the device. Some
older adults also experience hearing distortion or have difficulty with
auditory discrimination (the ability to separate conversation from
background noise). Some clients may use hearing devices to
correct their auditory deficiencies but may not always be wearing the
device(s) or have the volume set for a normal level of
conversation. Compatibility of the ActiveCare+ device with
hearing aids will be important.
|
|
2.1.3.
|
Hand
strength and dexterity – There are many causes of loss of dexterity in the
fingers and hands. Arthritis, stroke, muscle atrophy, disease,
the effects of medication, and others all impede dexterity and limit the
ability of the user to find and press a button, for
example. The ability of a finger to exert an acceptable force
level may be restricted or to maintain the force
consistently. A fluttering of the finger could induce multiple
depressions of the actuator button when a single actuation was
intended.
|
|
2.1.4.
|
Mobility
– Clients may typically experience a reduction in mobility due to disease
and the aging function. Therefore, if the companion device is
left in the docking station, the client will be unable to access it in an
emergency due to limited mobility, and the wrist device will be the sole
means of communication to the Call Center or 911. As part of
the mobility issue, balance will also be affected. Even a
simple task such as reaching with one hand across the body to the wrist
device on the opposite hand could cause an imbalance and risk of falling
if the client is standing and supported by a cane or by holding onto a
wall for stability.
|
|
2.1.5.
|
Skin
sensitivity – As we age, our skin gets thinner and we are more easily
bruised even performing normal activities. A wrist device could
cause bruising even when worn normally so the shape of the back surface of
the device, the device weight, and the wrist band design, tightness and
accommodation are important considerations. If the wrist device
is worn in the shower or bath, soap and moisture could accumulate between
the device and the skin and later cause a rash or
irritation. Material selection and surface texture are other
considerations for skin
sensitivity.

|
2.1.6.
|
Cognitive
processing – Clients are likely to experience some mental processing
issues from time-to-time which may appear as delayed reactions or
confusion. Especially after a fall or when “under pressure” to
respond to a voice prompt, confusion could delay the wearer from taking
the appropriate action. Sometimes the wrong button could be
pressed, the message misunderstood, or no action taken at
all. If the client considers the system difficult to use during
everyday activities or confusing in its operation, this feeling may
translate into one of annoyance for the device. As a result,
the client may stop wearing the device and utilizing the
service.
|
|
2.2.
|
Keeping
all of the above considerations in mind throughout the development
process, we will seek to make the device as easy to use and understand as
possible for the elder adult, post operative patient, or those requiring
home-based assistance.

APPENDIX
B - GPS PRIMER
The
Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up
of a network of 24 satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of
Defense. GPS was originally intended for military applications, but in the
1980s, the government made the system available for civilian use. GPS works in
any weather conditions, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. There are no
subscription fees or setup charges to use GPS.
How
it works…
GPS
satellites circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit
signal information to earth. GPS receivers take this information and use
triangulation to calculate the user's exact location. Essentially, the GPS
receiver compares the time a signal was transmitted by a satellite with the time
it was received. The time difference tells the GPS receiver how far away the
satellite is. Now, with distance measurements from a few more satellites, the
receiver can determine the user's position and display it on the unit's
electronic map.
A GPS
receiver must be locked on to the signal of at least three satellites to
calculate a 2D position (latitude and longitude) and track movement. With four
or more satellites in view, the receiver can determine the user's 3D position
(latitude, longitude and altitude). Once the user's position has been
determined, the GPS unit can calculate other information, such as speed,
bearing, track, trip distance, distance to destination, sunrise and sunset time
and more.
How
accurate is GPS?
Today's
GPS receivers are extremely accurate, thanks to their parallel multi-channel
design. Twelve parallel channel receivers are quick to lock onto satellites when
first turned on and they maintain strong locks, even in dense foliage or urban
settings with tall buildings. Certain atmospheric factors and other sources of
error can affect the accuracy of GPS receivers. GPS receivers are accurate to
within 15 meters (50 feet) on average.
Newer GPS
receivers with WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) capability can improve
accuracy to less than three meters on average. No additional equipment or fees
are required to take advantage of WAAS.
Users can
also get better accuracy with Differential GPS (DGPS), which corrects GPS
signals to within an average of three to five meters. The U.S. Coast Guard
operates the most common DGPS correction service. This system consists of a
network of towers that receive GPS signals and transmit a corrected signal by
beacon transmitters. In order to get the corrected signal, users must have a
differential beacon receiver and beacon antenna in addition to their
GPS.

The
GPS satellite system
The
24 satellites that make up the GPS space segment are orbiting the earth
about 12,000 miles above us. They are constantly moving, making two
complete orbits in less than 24 hours. These satellites are traveling at
speeds of roughly 7,000 miles an hour.
GPS
satellites are powered by solar energy. They have backup batteries onboard
to keep them running in the event of a solar eclipse, when there's no
solar power. Small rocket boosters on each satellite keep them flying in
the correct path.
Here
are some other interesting facts about the GPS satellites (also called
NAVSTAR, the official U.S. Department of Defense name for
GPS):
|
|
·
|
The
first GPS satellite was launched in
1978.
|
·
|
A
full constellation of 24 satellites was achieved in
1994.
|
·
|
Each
satellite is built to last about 10 years. Replacements are constantly
being built and launched into
orbit.
|
·
|
A
GPS satellite weighs approximately 2,000 pounds and is about 17 feet
across with the solar panels
extended.
|
·
|
Transmitter
power is only 50 watts or less.

What's
the signal?
GPS
satellites transmit two low power radio signals, designated L1 and L2. Civilian
GPS uses the L1 frequency of 1575.42 MHz in the UHF band. The signals travel by
line of sight, meaning they will pass through clouds, glass and plastic but will
not go through most solid objects such as buildings and mountains.
A GPS
signal contains three different bits of information — a pseudorandom code,
ephemeris data and almanac data. The pseudorandom code is simply an I.D. code
that identifies which satellite is transmitting information.
Ephemeris
data, which is constantly transmitted by each satellite, contains important
information about the status of the satellite (healthy or unhealthy), current
date and time. This part of the signal is essential for determining a
position.
The
almanac data tells the GPS receiver where each GPS satellite should be at any
time throughout the day. Each satellite transmits almanac data showing the
orbital information for that satellite and for every other satellite in the
system.

Enhanced
GPS
The term
“enhanced GPS” is used loosely throughout the location services industry. There
are several competing technologies on the market which are provided to enhance
the performance of a GPS receiver. Some examples include Oncore,
SnapTrak, NEC, U-Locate, TrimTrac, etc. Most of these GPS-enhancing
technologies are network-assisted or network-based using GSM, CDMA, or other
terrestrial networks.
Overview
Of Assisted GPS
Assisted-GPS
is a method of improving GPS performance. Two main benefits are
seen:
Faster
Time to First Fix (TTFF)
Acquisition
in weak signal environments
These
improvements in performance come with one penalty – the requirement for some
type of cellular network to transmit the assistance data, and backend server
technology to generate assistance data. To gain an understanding of the
difference in performance between Assisted and Autonomous GPS, please view the
performance numbers in the next section.
Overview
of MS-Based Assisted GPS
MS
(Mobile Station) Based Assisted GPS is a standard mode of GPS operation,
tailored for fast acquisition and operation in weak signal environments.
Position calculation occurs in the mobile unit, and does not require assistance
beyond the initial Assistance packet, which is valid for up to two hours. This
makes it ideal for application that need to generate a position regularly such
as mapping LBS (Location Based Services) without loading the cellular
network.
Overview
of MS-Assisted Assisted GPS
MS
(Mobile Station) Assisted A-GPS is a standard mode of GPS operation, suited to
infrequent position fixes in weak signal environments. Position calculation
occurs in the Cellular Network, completed in the PDE (Position Determining
Entity). This type of A-GPS is suited to E911 applications where only the
network side needs to know the position, rather than the mobile being ‘position
aware’.
Overview
of Autonomous GPS
Autonomous
GPS, as the name suggests, requires no assistance data and is capable of
outputting Position, Velocity and Time (PVT) autonomously. The limitation of
this type of GPS is its inability to calculate initial position in weak signal
environments. In order for the GPS to calculate its position, Ephemeris data is
required locally to calculate precise satellite positions. The Ephemeris, and
other satellite parameter data, is transmitted as a background serial stream as
50 bits per second. This data cannot be decoded initially at signal levels under
–142dBm, and hence the limitation of the first autonomous fix to –142dBm. Once a
position has been calculated, implying Ephemeris data is available locally,
autonomous operation can continue in weal signal environments until the
background decoded data has timed out, typically 2 hours max.

Network
Based Location Service
There is
also a terrestrial based set of technologies that determine a cellular users
position using cell data and time of arrival measurements. These
services are mainly restricted to urban areas where the cell tower density is at
its greatest and will only be available if the carrier supports it.
Sources
of GPS signal errors
Factors
that can degrade the GPS signal and thus affect accuracy include the
following:
·
|
Ionosphere and troposphere
delays — The satellite signal slows as it passes through the
atmosphere. The GPS system uses a built-in model that calculates an
average amount of delay to partially correct for this type of
error.
|
·
|
Signal multipath — This
occurs when the GPS signal is reflected off objects such as tall buildings
or large rock surfaces before it reaches the receiver. This increases the
travel time of the signal, thereby causing
errors.
|
·
|
Receiver clock errors —
A receiver's built-in clock is not as accurate as the atomic clocks
onboard the GPS satellites. Therefore, it may have very slight timing
errors.
|
·
|
Orbital errors — Also
known as ephemeris errors, these are inaccuracies of the satellite's
reported location.
|
·
|
Number of satellites
visible — The more satellites a GPS receiver can "see," the better
the accuracy. Buildings, terrain, electronic interference, or sometimes
even dense foliage can block signal reception, causing position errors or
possibly no position reading at all. GPS units typically will not work
indoors, underwater or underground.
|
·
|
Satellite
geometry/shading — This refers to the relative position of the
satellites at any given time. Ideal satellite geometry exists when the
satellites are located at wide angles relative to each other. Poor
geometry results when the satellites are located in a line or in a tight
grouping.
|
·
|
Intentional degradation of the
satellite signal — Selective Availability (SA) is an intentional
degradation of the signal once imposed by the U.S. Department of Defense.
SA was intended to prevent military adversaries from using the highly
accurate GPS signals. The government turned off SA in May 2000, which
significantly improved the accuracy of civilian GPS
receivers.
