The Universal Tracking Platform (UTP) provides an integrated solution for monitoring and reporting the geographic position, movement parameters and internal health of a vehicle, or any entity capable of movement.

Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM)

This product is customisable for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). C²I² Systems will work closely with the OEM or VAR (Value-Added Reseller) if need be and could customise the design based on their specific needs. A VAR will sell the finished product under its own name.

Architecture

The UTP incorporates a Global Positioning System (GPS) module, a Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) module, autonomous data logging to onboard non-volatile memory, digital/analogue input and digital output. An onboard rules engine allows easy and powerful user configuration. All UTP functions can be accessed using a powerful serial Application Program Interface (API).


UTP Architecture	Universal Tracking Platform

Features

Full GPS functionality
GSM V2.5 (GPRS with built-in TCP/IP stack, SMS and CSD communication options)
4 Mbit of EEPROM for the logging user or onboard VMM data
A powerful serial API providing flexible access to all onboard tracking functions
An onboard rules engine that allows control functions to operate without interaction with the host (for example, the unit may be programmed to report position via GPRS and activate an alarm when the GPS speed exceeds a preprogrammed setpoint).
Sophisticated reporting functions

This module can be controlled in the following ways :

External command via serial port
External command via GSM (GPRS, SMS or CSD)
External command via Data Key
Internal, stand-alone operation using rule and function engine

Applications

Vehicle tracking applications
Position tracking applications
Remote data logging using GPRS/SMS/CSD
Remote control using GPRS/SMS/CSD
Stand-alone data logging and control
Easy to use GSM (GPRS/SMS/CSD) communication module
