Nowadays, in the epoch of fast digitizing governance environment, accuracy and adherence to the rules are no longer a choice, they are a requirement. The significance of precise GPS technology has increased exponentially in relation to initiatives such as Aadhaar-enabled services or land and field mapping projects. Today we have theRadium UGR 89 GPS Receiver which is a high precision device that is designed to achieve the governmental protocols and e-governance initiatives within India.
It can be used in Aadhaar, property demarcation, agricultural land mapping, real-time tracking as well as others, which means it can offer the kind of reliability and accuracy demanded by central or individual state departments. This blog examines how this GPS device is not only compliant but in many cases surpasses the national agency standards established by the Indian government.
The Radium UGR 89 is a plug-and-play USB GPS receiver that provides highly accurate geolocation data. It is compact, rugged, and engineered specifically for high-demand environments—making it ideal for fieldwork in both urban and rural India.
Some of its key highlights include:
High-sensitivity GPS chipset
Real-time location accuracy within 2.5 meters
USB interface for easy desktop/laptop integration
Compatible with GIS software
Government-standard compliant
Let’s break down how the UGR 89 aligns with specific government use cases:
1. Aadhaar Seeding & e-KYC Location Validation
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) requires location data to be captured during certain Aadhaar-related services. With the Radium UGR 89, GPS coordinates taken during Aadhaar seeding or eKYC can be accurately verified.
This helps in:
Tracking the location of authentication points
Geo-tagging Aadhaar enrollment and update centers
Reducing chances of location spoofing
2. Land & Property Mapping (PM-KISAN, PMAY, SVAMITVA)
Programs like PM-KISAN, SVAMITVA, and PM Awas Yojana (PMAY) need GPS-enabled devices for land verification, boundary mapping, and asset tracking.
The UGR 89 supports these by:
Providing real-time GPS coordinates with accuracy within 3 meters
Allowing data export to GIS platforms for mapping and analysis
Working well even in remote or low-network areas
3. Agricultural Field Surveys
State governments and agricultural departments require accurate field data for subsidy schemes, soil health cards, and fertilizer distribution.
The Radium UGR 89:
Helps verify plot sizes accurately
Supports location-tagged photos as evidence
Works with Android or desktop data entry apps
4. Vehicle Tracking & Attendance
Used by local bodies and municipal corporations for waste management, school bus tracking, and staff attendance, the UGR 89 offers:
Live GPS tracking with frequent updates
Geo-fencing features when paired with compatible software
Secure, tamper-proof data logging
