GPS-4100M Series - Automatic Vehicle Location Device:

The GPS-4100M adds GPS location reporting capability to any mobile radio operating on your voice radio system. The GPS Box interfaces with your mobile radio through the radio's accessory port (on most radios) and allows the user to use the radio's stock hand microphone. The GPS Box sends data reports over the voice radio channel which allow the dispatch operator to know the current location of each unit. Because the system integrates into your existing voice radio system no additional channels or licensing is needed and there is NO MONTHLY FEE. The unit works with both conventional and trunked analog radio systems.

Overview:

The GPSBox is a revolutionary remote GPS Box that works with virtually any two-way radio. In addition to operating as a standard remote GPS device, the GPSBox also utilizes Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites to send automatic reports on the user’s position. Location reports can be sent automatically or manually (whenever the user depresses the PTT key) and are displayed at the dispatch location using a GPSBox and a personal computer running a dispatch or mapping software application.

The GPSBox is part of a complete location reporting system that helps you keep track of your manpower. This system consists of one or more GPSBox, which receive location information directly from Global Position Satellites, plus a GPSBox and a personal computer or the currently installed CAD or Google dispatch application.

GPSBox Features

1.Single, rugged unit is both a standard remote speaker microphone and a personal Global Positioning
System (GPS) location device. Convenient, efficient, affordable, secure.
2.Works with virtually any two-way radio system—single or multiple channels, conventional or trunked
system, across VHF/UHF frequency range.
3.Can be used with both vehicle and handheld radios. Built-in earphone jack allows connection of a
single-wire earphone kit for privacy.
4.On-board memory stores up to 1,300 location reports for easy download and archiving using a wired
connection to the GPSMic or over-the-air reporting.

5.High sensitivity GPS receiver which allows for better reception of GPS satellite signals.

Position Reporting Options
1.Position reporting can be programmed to operate in many modes. Modes can be combined. They can be
applied to single mics, groups, or system wide. Over-the-air reprogramming can help respond to
changing needs and emergency conditions.
2.Polling Mode: Reports location only when requested by the Base Station.
3.PTT Mode: Reports location when the user presses the push-to-talk switch. Minimum time between
reports can be set to minimize data transmissions. Reports may be sent at the beginning or the end of the
user’s voice transmission.(PS:Some mobile radios without PTT mode)
4.Fixed Time Mode: Reports location automatically at set intervals.
5.Relative Distance Mode: Reports location whenever the user moves more than a set distance from his or
her own last reported position.
6.“Geofence” Mode: Reports location and sends alert whenever the user moves more than a set distance
from a specific defined location.

GPSBox Location Reporting System Features
1.Transmits GPS location and other information as data over an existing non-compressed voice radio
channel. Dedicated data channel is NOT needed.
2.Operates standalone or can be integrated into an existing AVL system. Our simple Application
Programming Interface (API) allows the GPSBox system to be used with third-party mapping and
dispatch software packages.
3.Simple, standalone installations use a GPSBox configured as a Base Station Unit (BSU).
4.Fully configurable and controllable using GPSBox Tools software suite. Most operating parameters are
programmable for the system, defined groups, or individual subscribers. Extensive over-the air, on-the-fly
capabilities maximize flexibility.
5.Vigorous reporting and acknowledgment protocol helps ensure that location reports are not missed even
under weak signal conditions.
6.The base station or dispatcher can request location information at any time for all subscribers, predefined
groups, or individuals.
7.Firmware-upgradeable to enable additional features and functionality revisions.
8.Automatic location reports are sent only when the microphone detects a clear channel. This helps avoid
collisions with other traffic through user configurable means.
