For a company “on-prem” might not mean the same as “local”. You might run them in your company data center or in a colocated server (rented space in a data center). In either of those cases, the data center might be physically close to you, but it could be on a different continent.

“On-prem” implies that the company has physical access/control of the server.

But does the GPS work? Is it able to correctly locate your car on the map? There are other cool things we use GPS satellites for, but their purpose is to calculate the position on a globe. A Global Positioning System, if you will.

I think it shouldn’t matter. IIRC, the GPS algorithm depends on time differences, not absolute time. As long as the satellites are coordinated with each other, receivers won’t care which parameters the absolute time matches.

I’ve had good luck with locally connected devices (zwave and zigbee usually). I have a bunch of light switches, temperature sensors, etc. But I bet local connected stuff is hard to find for appliances.
