Originally developed by the US Department of Defense, GPS is used for many different applications including, offshore ocean navigation, direction finding, exploration and vehicle locating. Without Selective Availability, GPS is accurate to within a radius of 6. 3 meters of a location (95% of the GPS points fall within this radius). There are inherent limitations to wireless communications and the Global Positioning System (GPS). Future of GPS Technology AUTOMATED® 210A services leverage stable, reliable technology platforms with the ability to implement future technological advancements. AUTOMATED® 210A is developed to support emerging wireless platforms and devices to ensure future value and avoid obsolescence.
