Mobile phone operations: GPS is integral to mobile phones for navigation, location-based services, geotagging, etc.<br \/>\n2. Banking operations: While not used for the transaction itself, GPS time synchronization is crucial for the infrastructure supporting banking, particularly for high-frequency trading, synchronizing transactions across distributed systems, and time-stamping financial data accurately. Location services can also be used for fraud detection or locating services.<br \/>\n3. Controlling the power grids: GPS provides highly accurate timing signals used by devices like Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) for synchronized measurements (synchrophasors) across the power grid. This precise timing is essential for real-time monitoring, control, and stability analysis of large power systems.<br \/>\nThus, GPS technology has applications in all three listed areas.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In which of the following areas can GPS technology be used ? 1.
