What is GPS?
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a navigation and precise-positioning tool used for mobile monitoring, also referred to as fleet / vehicle tracking.
Leading Edge GPS Technology meets Simplicity of Use
IntelliTrak GPS has partnered with Contigo, an innovative company at the forefront of mobile monitoring systems and equipment. Originally founded in 2002 as Guardian Mobile Monitoring Systems, Contigo has been successful in securing a leadership position in the GPS tracking marketplace.
The Contigo System
Contigo’s technology platform integrates 3 key components:
- GPS Beacon
- Wireless Networks
- Web-Based Software
GPS Beacon
Mobile monitoring begins with a wireless locatable device called a beacon. This beacon includes a GPS receiver, which enables it to receive GPS data from a constellation of Earth Orbit Satellites. The beacon calculates its position, speed, direction and time.
Wireless Networks
The wireless networks and antennas serve as the communication bridge between the beacon and our software. The wireless technology platform supports the latest wireless technology to give optimum performance and signal recognition.
Web-Based Software
At the heart of the IntelliTrak GPS system is a 100% web-based software platform. With our web-based tracking software, no purchase of software is required. This in turn means no requirement for licensing fees, installation or upgrades. All you need is a computer with access to the Internet and you are ready to enjoy secure, 24-hour access to your vehicle or fleet.
What does a GPS vehicle tracking system do?
- The beacon receives GPS data from the satellites.
- The beacon calculates its position, and sends the data over the cellular network.
- The cellular network transmits the data to the Contigo servers
- The Contigo system will then transmit the data according to your preferences, as specified within your web-based software.
At the most basic level, a GPS vehicle tracking system provides to businesses and individuals detailed, real-time information on the location of their vehicles.
