A passive unit maintains a record of every location it has traveled to in a particular vehicle. This information can then be downloaded onto your computer and viewed using the manufacturer’s software that is included with your tracking unit.Real time, or active systems allow you to view the vehicle’s location whenever you desire. They collect the same information, but usually transmit the data in “real-time” via cellular or satellite networks to a computer.
GPS tracking uses a system of satellites orbiting the earth to find an approximate placement of the receiver within a few meters of its actual location. These systems are known for their accuracy and reliabilit and can generally give you a precise reading within a few feet of your position.

What is GPS?
Developed by the U.S. Department of Defense, the Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide, satellite-based, radio navigation system. GPS can give you the exact position of your vehicles, no matter where they are, what time it is, or what the weather is like. A total of 24 satellites orbit the earth, monitored continuously by stations on the ground. The satellites transmit signals that can be detected by GPS receivers in your vehicles and used to determine their location with great accuracy.
How does GPS work?
Each GPS satellite transmits radio signals that enable the GPS receivers to calculate where it (or your vehicle) is on the earth. The receivers convert the calculations into geodetic latitude, longitude, and velocity. A receiver needs signals from at least three GPS satellites to pinpoint the position of your vehicle. GPS receivers used in most vehicle tracking systems can only receive data from GPS satellites. They cannot communicate back with GPS satellites or any other satellite. A system using GPS can only calculate its location; it cannot send its location to a central control room. In order to send its location to a central control room, a system using GPS normally uses GSM-GPRS cellular network connectivity using an additional GSM modem/module.
What is GSM ?
GSM, short for the Global System for Mobile Communications, is a popular mobile communication system provided by cellular service providers or GSM operators in most countries. It is used for in most mobile handsets used by us. GSM Mobile communication system can be intelligently used by electronic gps devices which can collect some data and send it to the central place using SMS or GPRS data call. GSM is required in Vehicle tracking systems because GPS system can normally only receive GPS location information from satellites but cannot communicate back with them. Hence we need some other communication system like GSM to send this location information to central control room. Other technologies can also be used but they are more costly.
What is GPRS?
The General Packet Radio Service is a new communication service introduced by GSM operators. The service is part of the same GSM network. It ensures the secure transfer of content such as digital photos to another GPRS-capable system. An example of a service based on GPRS is MMS (the Multimedia Messaging Service). GPRS is required in case we want to take snapshots and transfer them to the central control room. GPRS does not involve additional hardware, but we need to use more advanced GSM modules that support GPRS. Note that GPRS services are not provided by all GSM operators.
How do Traxlogix's products work?
The tracking base unit, sometimes called the "tracking patch," contains an advanced, quad-band GSM module that supports SMS, MMS, and GPRS data transfer and a highly sensitive GPS receiver. To make it work, energy is required. For stand-alone applications, a wide selection of rechargeable and nonrechargeable Traxlogix battery packs is available. For externally powered operations, a converter needs to be attached to the base unit. M2M refers to data communications between machines. M2M is most commonly translated as Machine-to-Machine but has sometimes been translated as Man-to-Machine, Machine-to-Man, Machine-to-Mobile and Mobile-to-Machine. Among cellular telephone service providers, M2M means Mobile-to-Mobile, and is used to describe calls that do not involve land lines. Like all evolving technologies, its definition continues to evolve, but it generally refers to telemetry or telematics that is accomplished using networks, especially public wireless networks.
In the past, telemetry systems were the exclusive domain of very large well financed organizations. NASA used telemetry extensively from the very beginning of the space program and which was probably one of the first applications. Large oil and gas companies and electric utilities, through the use of extensive customer built dedicated data networks, were a couple of the first private organizations to use telemetry.
M2M can also mean the family of sensors, middleware, software and applications that help improve efficiency and quality by tying together a myriad of sensors with mission critical applications like asset management, ERP, and CRM.
In recent years, the cost of access to public wireless data networks (CDMA, GPRS, Mobitex, etc.) has been dropping while the capabilities of these networks continues to increase. M2M generally refers to technology that leverages these networks to bring telemetry to a much wider audience. In addition, M2M sometimes refers to similar leveraging of the internet. In this case, the term is more or less equivalent to another term, Pervasive Internet.
As the scope of M2M has evolved, other terms like Machine to Human (M2H) and Machine to Enterprise (M2E) are starting to emerge to segment the pervasive nature of the M2M term. The M2M device, software, network, and service market is expected to grow rapidly world wide between now and 2010. Some estimates suggest the 2010 world market may exceed $300B in annual revenue. Where as there are some half billion computers in the world and over one and a half billion cell phones & PDAs, it is estimated there are more than 38 billion other electronic devices that have information perhaps relevant to improving an enterprises operation. The M2M market strives to connect these devices to corporations, governments and institutions.
Depending upon the application, products are awakened at regular intervals or permanently connected to the GSM network. When needed, the GPS receiver is activated in order to determine a geographical position. The products exchange data wirelessly through a dedicated protocol with a common platform, also called a traxlogix communication server. From there, various forms of information, such as GPS positions, battery status, and temperature, can be sent using an Internet connection to multiple workstations, generally located in control rooms. In accordance with the product's final application, the way it will work will differ significantly. For more information, please consult the datasheets for each product.
