GPS and Tracking
Plextek Ltd.
Global Positioning System (GPS) is now a well established, low-cost technology with a wide range of applications. A GPS product contains a receiver that is able to provide accurate timing and location information from data broadcast by a network of satellites. The satellites continuously transmit details of their precise location and time. By using data from four satellites a GPS receiver can determine its own precise location and the exact time. GPS tracking systems can be developed by incorporating a GPS receiver with some form of wireless link to relay the timing and location information back to the end user. With the advent of assisted GPS, such tracking systems can now be designed to operate within buildings for applications such as asset tracking. As well as providing design services for clients seeking to develop GPS enabled products and systems, we can also assist clients seeking to develop products based around Galileo, the European global navigation satellite system.
