Which term refers to the User Segment in the satellite-based positioning system?

In satellite-based positioning, the system is divided into Space, Control, and User segments. The User Segment is the end-user equipment that accesses and uses the GNSS data to determine position. The GNSS Receiver is the device that captures signals from satellites, processes them, and computes the user's position, time, and sometimes velocity. It typically includes the antenna and the processing electronics needed to translate satellite signals into coordinates, making it the best fit for the User Segment. A satellite dish antenna is a key part of the receiver hardware, but the term GNSS Receiver more accurately represents the full user-end device. The Geospatial Cloud Platform and Drone Mapping Software are processing and application tools, not the user-end receiver that directly calculates position from satellite signals.
