Long-distance positioning systems rely on key technical parameters for stable location data over wide areas. The main specification is operating range. Global GNSS covers worldwide distances, while LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, LTE-M, and 5G reach several to tens of kilometers per gateway. Hybrid designs combine satellite links with ground corrections. Positioning accuracy is equally important. Standalone GNSS provides 2-5 meters. SBAS improves it to 1-2 meters. RTK and PPP achieve centimeter to decimeter accuracy but need correction data and low multipath. Accuracy should be stated with CEP50 or RMS values. Update rate and latency define real-time performance. Rates range from 0.1 Hz for low-power tracking to 10 Hz for vehicles and drones. Latency is often 0.5-5 seconds over LPWAN, while 5G and direct radio reach 10-100 milliseconds. Radio parameters include frequency band, bandwidth, modulation, transmit power, receiver sensitivity, and interference immunity. LoRa uses sub-GHz ISM bands for high sensitivity and low power. NB-IoT and LTE-M use licensed cellular bands. 5G NR offers high bandwidth and low latency. Engineers must balance link budget, data rate, and consumption. Power and environmental ratings complete the system. Battery life may last months to years, depending on reporting interval and sleep mode. Operating temperature, ingress protection, shock resistance, and antenna gain influence reliability. Interfaces include NMEA, RTCM, JSON, and MQTT. Matching range, accuracy, update rate, latency, and power to the application ensures dependable long-distance positioning.
