Certification Compliance | Global deployment | Industry: FCC (Basic) | Base: FCC + CE (EU) ▲ Advanced: FCC + CE + RoHS (Environmental) ▲▲ (Complies with FCC Part 15, EN 55032, and RoHS 2 Directive) | Industry lacks multi-region support; Advanced adds cost for eco-compliance |
Data Storage Type | Real-time tracking & historical access | Industry: Local storage (Limited capacity) Base: Cloud (AWS S3, 10GB/month) ▲ Advanced: Hybrid (50GB/month) ▲▲ | Base enables remote access; Advanced ensures redundancy (e.g., offline data backup) | Base requires internet; Advanced needs setup for hybrid sync |
Network Compatibility | Remote/urban connectivity | Industry: 2G (Phasing out) Base: 2G/GSM ▲ Advanced: 2G/4G ▲▲ (4G speeds: 100Mbps+) | Base maintains compatibility; Advanced ensures future-proofing (4G for dense areas) | Industry faces network shutdown risks; Advanced needs 4G coverage |
Positioning Accuracy & Modes | Real-time tracking & emergency alerts | Industry: GPS Only (±10m) Base: GPS + AGPS (±5m) ▲ Advanced: GPS + AGPS + LBS (±3m) ▲▲ | Base improves urban accuracy; Advanced adds cellular triangulation (e.g., indoors) | Industry slower in cities; Advanced requires cellular signal for LBS |
Physical Design & Installation | Discreet vehicle installation | Industry: Bulkier (100x60x20mm) Base: Miniature (65x45x15mm) ▲ Advanced: Ultra-compact (50x35x10mm) ▲▲ | Base easier to hide; Advanced saves space (fits under seats) | Industry harder to install; Advanced may lack ruggedness (IP67 vs IP68) |
Power Management & Battery Life | Long-term monitoring | Industry: 7-day standby Base: 30 days (1 report/min) ▲ Advanced: 60 days (1 report/5 mins) ▲▲ | Base reduces battery replacements; Advanced extends tracking (tested at 3V Li-ion) | Industry needs frequent checks; Advanced may sacrifice update speed |
