With a digital connected world, location services have become increasingly as important as they have to be precise and efficient. Be it banking, eGovernance or telecom services all the field operations are dependent on efficient geolocation data. The Radium UGR 89 GPS Receiver employs the enhanced 89 chipset that is designed to support such requirements. The device is compact, reliable, UIDAI-approved, guarantees precise positioning, and support of flawless Aadhaar-enabled integrations that are especially valuable in a broad spectrum of mission-critical usages.
Radium Box is a leading supplier of biometric and Aadhaar based GPS devices in India, and the UGR86 GPS receiver offers the powerful 89 chipset. This device is designed to operate perfectly within Indian geographic and infrastructural situations. The 89 chipset is fully compliant to the GPS (U.S.), GLONASS (Russia), Galileo (EU), and most importantly, NavIC (Navigation with Indian Constellation) which is the local satellite system of India.
NavIC is the satellite navigation system that India came up with through Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the system provides very precise location information within India and as far as 1500 km across the borders. UGR 89 chipset has been designed to include support to NavIC so as to add a dimension of accuracy and redundancy to field operations and especially in some tough terrains like rural and hilly terrains.
Dual GNSS technology (works with multiple constellations of satellites) improves the capability of GPS receivers to receive satellite signals of different constellations. This is reflected as:
Quick Position Fixes: The more satellites, the faster the determination of the location of an object.
Greater Accuracy: With dual GNSS, it is possible to achieve accuracies at sub-meter in densely built or remote conditions.
Better Reliability: Multiple satellite systems and redundancy means the receiver will still be operational even when a certain constellation has poor visibility.
Improved Coverage in India: The UGR 89 can cover remote and semi-urban Indian areas with a high rate of accuracy due to the integration of NavIC.
This qualifies the UGR 89 as an essential product to users that require consistency and precision in location services, particularly in places where normal GPS devices cannot provide the needed services.
The UGR 89 is UIDAI certified which implies it matches the rigorous requirements expected of the devices to be used in Aadhaar-enabled authentication and verification activities. Aadhaar authentication requires secure and accurate geolocation tagging, especially at eKYC, DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer), and other government benefit schemes.
Aadhaar-enabled GPS applications can be used in the following ways:
CSC (Common Service Centres) operations
Banking Correspondents (BCs) that offer doorstep banking
Telecom-KYC verification
Rural and urban eGovernance services
Field and government surveys
The UGR 89 will enable service providers to be confident that they can verify the identity and location of their customers in real-time.
Banking and Financial Inclusion
UGR 89 is perfect to be used by Banking Correspondents in remote villages. It guarantees proper geotagging of financial dealings and the use of biometric identification in terms of Aadhaar.
Telecom and KYC Verification
The device allows telecom operators to verify the identity and location of its subscribers in accordance with DoT regulations.
eGovernance and Rural Development
The UGR 89 can be implemented by government agencies to conduct welfare scheme verification, beneficiary surveying, and carrying documentation at the field-level.
Healthcare and Mobile Clinics
The receiver can be used by medical teams to log patient locations accurately, which are critical in data-driven outreach programs.
Education and Examination Centers
GPS logging will help to create a fostering environment of transparency and compliance in institutions that are performing examinations in remote centers.
Plug-and-Play Design: Installs in minutes, and it works. No installation of drivers is needed.
High Sensitivity: It captures and processes signals even in urban canyons or dense forests.
Low Power Consumption: Uses very low amount of power and thus it is perfectly suited to battery operated environments.
Compact and Lightweight: Small size to fit in mobile kits, laptops and in biometric arrangements.
Future-Proof: Prepared to comply with the standards of the present day and the future requirements, such as the necessity to support NaviC by 2025.
NavIC was not only developed as a technological success, but as a strategic resource. In the case of India, dependence on foreign GNSS systems alone comes with operational as well as geopolitical risks. Systems, such as the UGR 89, provide:
National Compliance: Complies with the Indian requirements on location services.
High Accuracy on Indian territory: Since NavIC is tailored to the Indian geography, it has higher performance than other systems.
Government Induced Security: NavIC has the support of ISRO and this means it will provide a constant steady service.
As the Indian government plans to adopt NaviC support in all GPS-enabled devices by the year 2025, future-ready adopters of UGR 89 are poised to gain.
Accuracy is not optional to the field officers. The UGR 89 assures:
Instant GPS lock
Precise location pinning
Reliable data transmission in low-connectivity areas
It is compatible with tablets, laptops and biometric devices and offers a comprehensive solution to the frontline service providers.
One of the priorities of the Aadhaar-related activities is security. The UGR 89 abides by the UIDAI rules and accommodates:
Secure registration of the devices
Encrypted data sharing
GPS timestamping to verify the real time field work
The UGR 89 is not simply another GPS dongle: it is an India-ready, field-tested and compliant geolocation solution that can be implemented across sectors, such as fintech, governance, telecom, or public health and is suited for organizations and agencies operating in such environments.
High accuracy with dual GNSS + NaviC
Aadhaar eKYC and authentication UIDAI-approved
Tough and durable to work on on grounds
Simple to configure with other system in place
Future-ready 2025 compliant standards
As digital services continue to require robust geolocation monitoring that is real-time and reliable, the Radium UGR 89 GPS receiver emerges as a high-quality option. Tailored to Indian conditions, tested with robust dual GNSS and NaviC functionality and prepared to incorporate Aadhaar, this palm-sized device will transform the way works in the fields are organized in India.
The UGR 89 is your precision and compliance partner whether you are facilitating digital payments, monitoring rural development plans or conducting remote field verification.
