The other half is everything that moves outside it \u2014 trucks in the yard, badges in the parking lot, vehicles between buildings. That is the GNSS side of AB2U.<\/p>\n<h3>What GNSS includes<\/h3>\n<p>GNSS \u2014 Global Navigation Satellite System \u2014 is the umbrella term for all satellite positioning constellations, not just the American one:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>GPS<\/strong> (United States) \u2014 the original constellation most people name by default.<\/li>\n<li><strong>BeiDou \/ BDS<\/strong> (China) \u2014 a full global constellation, often with more satellites overhead in Asia.<\/li>\n<li><strong>GLONASS<\/strong> (Russia) \u2014 improves fix availability at high latitudes and in constrained sky views.<\/li>\n<li><strong>QZSS<\/strong> (Japan) \u2014 a regional overlay that steepens satellite geometry over East Asia, helping in urban canyons.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>AB2U&#8217;s GNSS-equipped tags use a multi-constellation receiver that hears all of the above. Each site chooses its policy \u2014 GPS, BeiDou, or both \u2014 with one toggle, and the receiver applies it directly. More constellations mean more satellites in view, faster fixes, and better behavior between tall buildings, under partial canopies, and deep in loading yards.<\/p>\n<h3>One identity, indoors and out<\/h3>\n<p>The point is not outdoor positioning by itself \u2014 phones do that. The point is <em>one tag, one identity, one honest trail<\/em>: meters-grade satellite fixes outdoors, centimeter-grade fixes indoors, and an automatic handover at your mapped entrances. While the indoor system holds a fresh, precise fix, a vaguer satellite fix is never allowed to overwrite it \u2014 so nothing ping-pongs through a wall at the dock door. And any tag that appears indoors without crossing a doorway raises a transition alert.<\/p>\n<h3>Potential applications<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Yard-to-shelf logistics<\/strong> \u2014 one trail from the truck&#8217;s approach, through the dock entrance, to the put-away location; arrival events that can release escrowed payment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fleet &amp; last-mile<\/strong> \u2014 vehicle and courier badges tracked across sites, with geofence zones that behave exactly like indoor zones.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Campus &amp; site safety<\/strong> \u2014 lone-worker and SOS badges that work in the parking lot as well as the corridor; muster-point accounting during evacuations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Construction &amp; open-pit operations<\/strong> \u2014 equipment and crew visibility across mixed indoor\/outdoor sites where neither GPS-only nor indoor-only systems suffice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Healthcare campuses<\/strong> \u2014 wheelchairs, pumps and shuttle carts followed between buildings without re-badging or re-scanning.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cold chain &amp; high-value transit<\/strong> \u2014 assets that report position honestly at every doorway they cross, with a signed event trail for audits.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Robotics fleets<\/strong> \u2014 outdoor approach legs and indoor missions on one map, with the same three-layer safety envelope everywhere.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If one of these looks like your premises, <a href=\"https:\/\/ab2bc.com\/ab2u\/contact\/\">tell us about your floor<\/a> \u2014 we&#8217;ll map a scenario to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AB2U tags carry multi-constellation satellite positioning \u2014 GPS, BeiDou, GLONASS and QZSS \u2014 with automatic handover to indoor precision at your mapped entrances.
