Global Positioning System

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a constellation of 24 satellites orbiting high in the Earth's atmosphere. It is satellite-based radio navigation and time infotribution system that broadcasts position and timing data around the globe, 24 hours a day and in any weather condition. The Global System for Mobile (GSM) communication is a standard wireless data network protocol which when integrated with a GPS system is able to update current location of a system under investigation. This sort of cellular tracking technology works on the principal of trilateration. This technology though in its nascent stage holds great promise for the future and caters for mid range tracking applications within a mobile phone cell. are space-based radio positioning systems that provides 24-hour three-dimensional positioning, velocity and time information to suitably equipped users anywhere on or near the surface of the Earth. These systems promised radical improvements to many tracking solutions that impact all people. By combining GPS with our digital mapping technology, we will be better able to identify and manage your assets more effectively.

The advantages of this tracking system can be sub divided in two major categories namely :

Real-time Tracking - Users can access the current location of their assets, as they are moving. This allows live monitoring of asset status. The user may access the tracking information on a PC or using any mobile phone.

Map-based tracking - To complement these GPS tracking units embedded inside an asset, a GPS compatible digital map using GSM cellular modem can survey and grade GPS receivers current location remotely. The maps may be customized to show service areas and drop-off points and central updates of the real time movement at every poling time.
