Hi friends, One of the biggest advertisers on my Chipdir site has developed a product which may be interesting to some of you. (It may even enable you to give up your day-job and start a small company based on this technology.)
It's a print with which large objects like containers, trucks, ships, autobuses, taxis etc. can be tracked. >We have developed a print with GPS/GPRS/GSM techniques >that can work completely autonomously, powered by a small >solar panel and/or an external accu of between 5 and 30 V. >The print uses a small amount of current despite the >extensive functionality. It's height is no more than >8 mm. Applications are international tracking and tracing >but also security, control and logging of all kinds of >objects through about 30 I/O lines. The print can >communicate with our own (redundant) server system >that can log all your data and which can be accessed >via the internet. > >Do you happen to have contacts that are interested in >selling this? We'd rather not install and support this >ourselves and we'd also prefer to leave the sale and >(local) marketing to others, so we can concentrate on >further development of the product. > >For further details, please contact <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED] I have been doing business with KCS for several years now and it has always been a pleasure. Here are the specifications of the product: > >KCS Solar GPS / GPRS module V2.0 > > > > * Dimensions: 100 x 74 x 7 mm > * Temperature range: -20 �C to 55 �C (full GSM specifications, outside this > range 'functional') > * Power supply: > * - External 6 to 30 V > * or > * - 12V Battery, charging by solar panel and/or external supply. > * Power rating < 50 mW, depending on amount of GPRS traffic, number of positions > fixes, GPS quality etc. > * Selectable activity, depending on battery capacity. > * External connections: > * - 3x RS-232 out, 5x RS-232 in (full RS232 level) > * - 4x digital / analog I/O > * - 3x digital I/O > * - One-Wire � interface > * - 3.3 Volt external supply (max. 150 mA), switchable by module > * - 3.5 Volt external supply (max. 500 mA) > * Temperature sensor > * Sensor for movement detection > * Very high GPS sensitivity (-150 dBm tracking), accuracy 3m (CEP). > * 4 to >32 mbit flash memory for logging > * Data can also be transmitted by GSM, e.g. if no GPRS network is available. > * Full software update possible by jtag or remote by GPRS. > * Data can be send by ftp/email/tcp-packets/sms: > * - leaving specified region(s) > * - entering specified region(s) > * - no movement for xx sec. > * - movement after stand still > * - speed above/below level > * - external signal (RS-232/digital/analog/One-Wire) above/below level, > internal/external temperature out of range etc. > * - battery above/below certain level > * - every xx sec/min/hour > * - continuous position/altitude/data transmitted on fixed times or after > (minimal) displacement > * - single position/altitude/data transmitted on selectable time > * - logged positions can be retrieved afterwards (all positions and > internal/external data can be logged) > * - after external request (TCP of calling the module by a standard phone) > * Communication with user PC/server, or with the default standard dual server. > All data can be viewed at the web interface, and/or be retransmitted. Transmitting > of positions and data to address specified by user, format also selectable by user. > * Differential GPS possible for even higher position accuracy. (Of course the usual disclaimer applies... ;-) Any comments are also welcome of course.
