Box Tracker
Product Details
BOX-tracker is our latest GSM/GPS vehicle tracking device aimed specifically at fleets of vehicles.
It is one of the smallest tracking devices on the market yet provides all the features you expect to allow it to be integrate seamlessly into your existing systems with minimal work.
How the Box-tracker works;
The Box-tracker enables you to see your world through a web browser, mobile phone, PDA or PC.
You have 2 options to choose from "plugged" i.e. to be installed into any type of vehicle or "un-plugged" a battery operated version for any type of tracking.
The product uses the The Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine its location, speed, direction, and time. This information is then sent to it's intended server via General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)* which is a Moble Data Service available on the Global Systems for Mobile Communication (GSM).
*The information can also be sent via Short Message Service (SMS) as a low cost, infrequent use option.
Vehicle Tracking
The primary purpose of BOX-tracker is to log vehicle movements and by using the latest GPS technology it’s able to do so in many areas and enclosed spaces other trackers fail to work. It is exceptionally fast in obtaining initial satellite lock so the start location is always accurate. Logs can be sent immediately to your sever or stored and forwarded at specific time or distance intervals.
Unlike many trackers which simply log raw NMEA packets BOX-tracker converts and logs data in a format which makes it easy for you to handle. And BOX-tracker ensures the highest positional accuracy by taking advantage of features available on the GPS unit other trackers ignore.
Communication
The communication interface has been designed to make integration to your existing systems as simple as possible allowing many customers to complete this in just a few days.
The primary method of communication is over GPRS, although SMS may be used where this is more economical or preferred. A simple ASCII based protocol over TCP or a binary UDP protocol may be used, both are standard features. Communication round trips have been minimised to provide the most cost effective communication protocol available whilst guaranteeing all data is received.
Security features within the protocol help ensure data received by your server is from a valid device, minimising the potential of hackers compromising data integrity by spoofing a trackers serial number.
BOX-tracker is highly configurable allowing you to customise how it works to suit your needs. You can either provide your own configuration or use the free web based configuration features hosted at BOX, making integration into your system even simpler.
