GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCED: GPS COMPULSORY IN EVERY PHONE
Considering the security of mobile users, the government has made the Global Positioning System (GPS) in every mobile.
The Department of Telecommunications has ordered the refusal of the
demand of every mobile phone maker, which states that any other
technology has been used instead of GPS in the phone. Companies also
said that giving the GPS system to the phone could increase its price by
50%.
The government has ordered the GPS in the feature phone simultaneously
with the smartphone as well, that since January 1, 2018, every phone to
be sold in India should have GPS. So that users can be tracked in an
emergency.
The Department of Telecommunication has issued the order to the Indian
Cellular Association (ICA). Let me tell you that the idea of making
the GPS inevitable in the phone was given by the ICA to the same
Department of Telecommunication.
The Global Positioning System (GPS), originally Navstar GPS,[1][2] is a
space-based radionavigation system owned by the United States government
and operated by the United States Air Force. It is a global navigation
satellite system that provides geolocation and time information to a GPS
receiver anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed
line of sight to four or more GPS satellites
The GPS system does not require the user to transmit any data, and it
operates independently of any telephonic or internet reception, though
these technologies can enhance the usefulness of the GPS positioning
information. The GPS system provides critical positioning capabilities
to military, civil, and commercial users around the world. The United
States government created the system, maintains it, and makes it freely
accessible to anyone with a GPS receiver. However, the US government can
selectively deny access to the system, as happened to the Indian
military in 1999 during the Kargil War.
The GPS project was launched in the United States in 1973 to overcome
the limitations of previous navigation systems,[5] integrating ideas
from several predecessors, including a number of classified engineering
design studies from the 1960s. The U.S. Department of Defense developed
the system, which originally used 24 satellites. It became fully
operational in 1995. Roger L. Easton of the Naval Research Laboratory,
Ivan A. Getting of The Aerospace Corporation, and Bradford Parkinson of
the Applied Physics Laboratory are credited with inventing it.
