What’s GPS (Global Positioning System) ?
Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite based
navigation system operated and maintained by the U.S.
Department of Defense.
A 2-D position calculation requires 3 satellites.
However, determination of position
using GPS satellites requires a clear
view of the sky. Tall buildings in dense
urban areas and terrain features such
as tunnels and multi-deck bridges can
block a GPS antenna's view of the sky.
What’s DR (Dead Reckoning) ?
Dead reckoning (DR) is the process of calculating a position using current
heading and speed to project from the last known position. This provides
position when GPS satellite signals are temporarily blocked.

SIM Tracking

Java SIM Based

Work with GSM Handsets (Handy)

Cell Based

NMR Based (Network Measurement Report)
– Higher Accuracy: ~ 150m Urban, ~1.5km Rural

Location Reporting Mode

Control Center Location Enquiry

Regular Location Reporting
