Waterproof Rating | Outdoor tracking, rainy environments | Industry: IPX5 (splash-resistant) Base: IP67 (dust/waterproof) ▲ Advanced: IP68 (1.5m water submersion) ▲▲ | Better protection against water ingress (IP67: 1m/30min; IP68: 1.5m/30min) | Advanced models may have bulkier design; higher cost |
Positioning Accuracy | Urban navigation, dense areas | Industry: GPS only (±10m error) Base: GPS + GLONASS (±5m error) ▲ Advanced: GPS + GLONASS + Beidou + Galileo (±2m error) ▲▲ | Multi-constellation support for precise tracking in challenging environments | Higher hardware costs; requires clear sky visibility for optimal performance |
Connectivity | Real-time tracking, remote access | Industry: GSM only Base: GSM + Wi-Fi ▲ Advanced: GSM + Wi-Fi + Bluetooth ▲▲ | Seamless integration with smartphones and networks (e.g., Bluetooth 5.0 for low latency) | Relies on cellular/Wi-Fi coverage for full functionality |
Power Efficiency | Long-term deployments | Industry: 10 days (AA battery) Base: 15 days (rechargeable Li-ion) ▲ Advanced: 20 days (low-power chipset) ▲▲ | Extended operational periods (ISO 50001-compliant energy management) | Advanced models may have larger battery size |
Voice Control | Hands-free operation | Industry: No voice control Base: Basic voice commands (e.g., "Find Me") ▲ Advanced: Advanced voice recognition (e.g.,方言 support) ▲▲ | User-friendly interaction (e.g., "Track Pet" via voice) | Voice features may reduce battery life by ~15% |
Remote Control | On-the-go adjustments | Industry: Limited remote settings Base: Basic app control (e.g., geofencing) ▲ Advanced: Full automation (e.g., auto-dial when out of range) ▲▲ | Customizable alerts and automation (e.g., SMS when pet enters restricted zone) | Requires dedicated app for full functionality; learning curve for advanced features |
