What is Cellular vs Satellite GPS?
Cellular GPS trackers use mobile networks (2G/3G/4G/LTE) to transmit data. They are affordable and work well in urban areas with good coverage. Satellite GPS trackers use satellite networks like Iridium or Globalstar to transmit data. They work anywhere on Earth, including oceans and remote areas, but have higher hardware and subscription costs.
