&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our module is low-power cellular-device, with a GPS receiver on board. A dedicated GPS modules can have better accuracy, however that would require extra cost, size and complexity for the end design.&amp;nbsp;compared to using&amp;nbsp;an nRF9160. We see that many Asset Tracking application does not need better accuracy than 5-3 meters, so therefore they see the benefit of using the onboard GPS receiver on the nRF9160, one example could be pet tracking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best regards,&lt;br /&gt;Kaja&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
