The
GPS GPRS combination of the GlobalTrack system enables
the seamless connectivity of the device with the server
The turnkey vehicle tracking system of Cybergraphy.com, GlobalTrack
doubles up as a GPS GPRS device to receive and send
vital information that eventually helps the user to
track and navigate the moving vehicles on the real
time. Before we start discussing how exactly the GlobalTrack
system uses the GPS GPRS technologies to track
a vehicle, let us find out what GPS & GPRS
is all about.
GPS or the Global Positioning System
is a satellite navigation system that can be used
for determining exact location of an object on the
surface of Earth or in the Earth orbit. The system
uses an intermediate circular orbit satellite constellation
of at least 24 satellites. These medium Earth orbit
satellites transmit precise microwave signals through
which a GPS receiver can determine its location, speed
and direction. GPRS or the General Packet Radio Service
is a Mobile Data Service available to users of GSM
devices. GPRS is used for wide range of services including
WAP access, SMS, MMS, and for Internet communication
services such as email and web access. GPRS transmits
data with packet-switched methods in which multiple
users share the same transmission channel, transmitting
data when they have data to send. Therefore, the total
available bandwidth can be immediately dedicated to
those users who are actually sending at any given
moment and thereby the available bandwidth is optimally
utilized. [Read

Now, you must have cleared your doubts
about the GPS, GPRS technologies. Both are very sophisticated
and widely used technologies. The GlobalTrack real
time tracking device makes maximum use of the GPS
GPRS combination to flawlessly track a moving vehicle
on the real time and then transmit the data to the
server. Here we will present how exactly the GPS and
GPRS technologies are utilized by the GlobalTrack
system.
-
In the GlobalTrack real time vehicle tracking
system, the devices receives the GPS signals to
get the exact location, speed and direction of
the vehicle and utilizes the GSM GPRS network
to transmit the data to the server.
-
The GlobalTrack device uses the GSM GPRS 850/900/1800/1900
MHZ frequencies.
-
Along with usual GPS data the device also send
the fuel tank level reading to the server that
is also geo coded with location, time and speed.
-
The GlobalTrack device supports RFID or barcode
data. It reads the barcode as well as sends the
data through GPRS to the server. [Read

-
The GlobalTrack device runs on minimum power
and external power off alarm can be sent to the
device by GPRS or SMS.
-
The build in GPRS/CDMA modem can be shared with
external devices.
-
Along with GPS tracking, the GlobalTrack system
also supports wireless data communication through
the GPRS network.
-
The multi tasking OS of the GlobalTrack device
enables simultaneous use of the GPS and external
device data sending without data loss. [Read

-
GlobalTrack system can automatically detect and
switch between GSM and GPRS mode, based on GPRS
radio coverage and hence uninterrupted data sending
is ensured.
-
Apart from the GPS GPRS combination for positional
signal receiving and data sending, the GlobalTrack
system also supports the CDMA network for sending
data.
The
GlobalTrack tracking device seamlessly integrates
with the GPS GPRS and even CDMA networks
for uninterrupted connectivity.
