The information following is from Transcom:
The VTS3000X tracking device provides a cost effective and intelligent turnkey solution for real time fleet messaging, vehicle tracking and telemetry applications. It can function either as a complete autonomous vehicle location system or in partnership with a Mobile Data Terminal, PDA or Laptop.
Always on GPRS Communications
The VTS3000X includes an integrated GPRS transceiver, enabling it to remain in real-time communication with the base whenever the unit is in radio coverage. This proven technology offers IP based communication with significantly greater bandwidth and lower communication costs and latency than conventional analogue radio networks. It also supports GSM voice communication through the addition of a handset or optional speaker and microphone to the device.
The device will autonomously setup to maintain a TCP/IP socket connecting to the base and allowing GPS and Job data to pass over this link in real-time. The connection also allows the device to be programmed. The device also acts as a proxy server providing a wireless IP link to an external device (PDA) for non-proprietary messaging such as a browser application on a PDA.
The VTS3000 can also act as a store and forward buffer for incoming messages. If the partner MDT device is not present, messages will be stored on the VTS3000 and forwarded to the MDT when re-connection is detected. This allows a non-wireless PDA to be used away from the vehicle whilst still maintaining availability to the base.
GPS Tracking and Intelligent Control
The VTS3000 INCLUDES a low power 12 Channel GPS receiver, providing real time position and velocity information, typically accurate to within 5m*. This data can be sent over the air on demand, or automatically, at intervals or events defined by the user. The unit can also be configured to store over 50,000 time stamped GPS I/O status records and to forward the data over the air on demand.
The VTS3000 has an onboard microprocessor that enables the unit to be programmed with many powerful features.
Configurable Inputs and Outputs
The VTS3000 includes a versatile array of external I/O options and extra Flash memory, enabling the unit to communicate with additional peripherals and sensors.
These I/Os can all be flexibly configured and addressed Over-The-Air using the Transcom Message Compression Protocol (TMCP) which also enables the unit to switch on and off modules, saving power
Modular Design
The VTS3000 is a modular design, allowing incremental upgrades of components to give additional functionality to the basic model. The device is housed in an extruded aluminum box and can be placed out of sight under the drivers’ seat or behind the dashboard. Temporary installation involves only connecting the unit to the vehicle cigarette lighter outlet. Permanent installation is also very easy requiring only a fused connection to 12v, ground and accessories.
The device also complies with the 1997 Australian EMC Framework Specifications. This ensures that the VTS3000 does not interfere with external in-vehicle equipment.
Customisation Potential
Clients can choose from a range of ”off-the-shelf” software programs or have a custom program coded to their specifications
