iTRAK GPS VEHICLE TRACKING SYSTEM

iTRAK Corporation manufactures a full range of innovative hardware products that operate with iTRAK Fleet Manager™. The company’s technical differentiation and patented design are key strengths that contribute to the reliability of the overall iTRAK solution.

Transmission of location data is driven by events, not just by time. Default reporting triggers are: 1) vehicle travels 1 mile; 2) vehicle stops for more than 2 minutes; and 3) vehicle starts from rest and reaches a speed of 5 MPH. All triggers can be optimized for specific business circumstances and changed over-the-air, if desired. This method is far superior to systems using timed transmissions, as the density of data points is high when the vehicle is actually moving, and no unnecessary data is sent while the vehicle is at rest.

The integrated 12-channel GPS receiver utilizes the best available technology, incorporating WAAS protocol for position accuracy of better than 10 feet.

Guaranteed delivery confirmation from the iTRAK Fleet Manager server to the iTRAK mobile device assures no data is lost from vehicle to server. Most other GPS systems do not support this critical function.

Store-and-forward capability ensures that data is not lost when vehicle is out of cellular coverage. Although most out-of-coverage episodes are very brief, the iTRAK mobile device can store more than 2,000 positions and send them when the vehicle returns to coverage.

The efficient communications design and built-in microprocessor minimize transmission of unnecessary or redundant data. With reporting triggers set at default values, a data plan of 1 MB per month typically permits each vehicle to travel approximately 6,000 miles per month.

iTRAK Corporation builds its own iTRAK vehicle-mounted hardware, removing any constraints that may be introduced by third-party providers.
