Hardware Overview
The Guardian vehicle tracking unit uses
12-channel Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to locate and
track a vehicle to a high level of accuracy. The GPS component of
the tracking unit is also WAAS capable to provide even higher
accuracy where WAAS signals are available.
For data communication the tracking unit supports
a range of wireless networks including GPRS/GSM, 1XRTT/CDMA,
Microburst, AMPS, 802.11, satellite (Orbcomm) and CDPD. A single
unit can be configured to simultaneously support two different
wireless networks and automatically seamlessly switch between
supported networks to provide additional coverage and backup
communication. This significantly reduces the possibility of
completely losing communication with a remote unit.
Guardian Features:
-
GPS (12 channel WASS) to
provide location information (latitude, longitude, speed and
direction).
-
Dual Modem option allows for
seamless switching between two wireless networks minimizing
loss of communications with mobile vehicle(s)
-
Key fob to activate panic, or simply to arm and disarm
vehicle
-
Supports multiple networks
to allow flexibility to assure required coverage (GPRS/GSM,
1XRTT/CDMA, Microburst, AMPS, 802.11, satellite (Orbcomm) and
CDPD)
-
Store and forward
capabilities when not in wireless network coverage to
collect data on position and events.
-
Geo-fencing identifies
when one or more vehicles enter or exit an area, for arrival and
departure information, or when in restricted areas.
-
Speed settings to advise when speeding violations
occur.
-
Interface to permit monitoring of assets with up to
10 input/output sensors (examples: door openings,
lock/unlock doors, battery levels, temperature, immobilize
vehicle).
-
Interface to provide two way messaging. Can be
utilized for dispatch, sending directions to driver,
in-vehicle navigation or providing status from driver.
-
Over-the-air programming.
