Questions about A_GPS and P_GPS.

[xinjiang]

1.I want to know which regions or mobile operators are supported by nrf_cloud's AGPS and PGPS services. Does it support all areas covered by NBIOT and LTE-M?

2.In China, does AGPS\PGPS support all operators (China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom)?

Hi,

 

The purpose of AGPS and PGPS is to provide ephemerides/almanac and other GPS related data directly into the GPS, for a quicker fix.

It does this by downloading data from the cloud, and piping that data directly into the GPS. If you have access to the AGPS/PGPS services from your network, you should be able to successfully use this.

You can read more about AGPS and PGPS here:

I have not heard of any problems, but please test to ensure that you have connectivity to the cloud via your carrier.

 

Kind regards,
