HOW DOES THE IRIDIUM HANDHELD TRACKER WORK?
The tracker is designed with ultra-low power consumption electronics drawing less than 35uA during sleep. With an internal 1.95 A-Hr rechargeable Li-Ion battery, it can send a position report every hour for up to two months (approximately 1,500 reports). The tracker is equipped with a high-resolution colour touchscreen, supporting the transmission of user-defined messages; canned messages and a combination of user defined and canned messages.
Similar to a smartphone, the menu options are displayed as icons for quick access. The device can periodically wake up from sleep and send its position report to a command centre. A panic button is used for immediate emergency notifications. Data is packaged in either standard or 256-bit AES encrypted format. Data can also be sent in encrypted PECOS formats to include Brevity codes.
KEY FUNCTIONALITY
Normal and Waypoint Tracking
Programmed to automatically wake up and send a position report at a set interval ranging from continuous to once every seven days. It also sends and/or saves waypoints (interested landmarks) for later retrieval and is available with a GSM option to reduce data transmission costs whilst in cellular coverage.
Emergency Alert
Sends alerts to a designated monitoring centre using a Panic Button. The monitoring centre and the user can then communicate further specifics of the emergency.
Messaging
The on-screen keyboard allows the transmission of user-defined and canned (pre-defined) messages.
Check-In
Allows a quick Check-In message to be sent using a single soft
