>> 1. I'm looking urgently for any information on whether such a GPS device
>> exists today to do an evaluation for a potential client quickly over the
>> next few months.
>>
>> 2. The main purpose is to track the position of an engineer(s) in the
>area
>> of operation (working on user-defined Eastings & Northings), send back
>his
>> position at intermittent intervals to base camp; and relay short text
>> messages from base camp to the engineer out in the field.
>>
>> 3. The specs of the device are as follow (or any device which meets most
>of
>> the specs can be considered) :
>> a. To be able to connect the GPS device to the helmet or attach to the
>> pocket of the engineer (or any unobstrucive location on the personnel)
>> b. Device to be compact (smaller than size of palm)
>> c. Ruggedised (waterproof, shock-proof, dust proof, etc...). Not mil
>specs.
>> d. Light-weight & portable (5oz and below)
>> e. Runs on AA/AAA dry cells (for a continuous period of 5 days)
>> f. Track & send back intermittent positions (based on user-defined
>> intervals for logging positions)
>> g. Any antenna required should be very small and not obstruct or retard
>the
>> movement of the engineer (who is expected to be bashing/rushing thru'
>rough
>> terrain & vegetation)
>> h. Can send GPS positions to base camp (must be in Eastings & Northings
>--
>> not Lat & Long). Area of ops to base camp = 15-20 km max.
>> i. GPS has DGPS capabilities
>> j. Can download position logs subsequently at end of mission to a PC at
>> base camp and display (or play-back) position in real-time /
>> accelerated-time.
>> k. As there will be several engrs out in the field concurrently, each GPS
>> should be set with a unique identifer for each engr.
>> l. GPS can be connected to a CDMA/GSM handphone to transmit positions &
>> receive text messages intermittently. Although, a GPS as a built-in
>> transceiver is most ideal.
>> m. The transceiver devices is base camp must be reliable and received
>> positions can be interfaced to a PC with MapInfo to display postions in
>> real-time.
>> n. All devices (at base camp & on engr) have been tested, proven &
>> commercially deployed.
