Original Press Release:
Raveon Unveils Rapid Real-Time GPS Tracking Radio
Raveon Technologies announced their new M7 GX GPS tracking transponder, a UHF transceiver with high-speed modem, GPS receiver, TDMA channel access, and 5-watts of RF output. This combination of technologies enables the M7 GX to track location and status in truly real-time - faster than any other competitive technology. Where most systems typically update position in minutes, a system built with the M7 GX can send and received up to 10 position reports per second.
The M7 GX Transponder has many technological advantages over conventional tracking products. These include:
Fast Switching: The M7 GX transceiver has a fast-lock PLL with a lock-time of only 1mS, and a T-R turn-around time of less than 3mS. This enables the radio to make real-time transmissions in TDMA or conventional modes.
Multi-Protocol Interface: The M7 GX has built-in interfaces to various PC software programs, GPS plotters, Radar plotters, and Microsoft Map Point.
Data Compression: Location transmissions are compressed, allowing not only location to be sent, but also voltage, temperature, input status, speed, direction, and time to be sent - and still take less air-time than most radios use to transmit their position.
Advanced modulation: Most tracking radios operate at 1200 or 2400 baud over the air. The M7 series operate 4-10X faster using CPFSK2/4 modulation for data rates as high as 19.2K over the air.
TDMA Channel Access: TDMA (Time-Division Multiplexing) is built into every M7 GX radio modem. With TDMA, 100 vehicles may be tracked with 10-second updates, and no RF interference. Even when using a simplex repeater!
These unique features enable complete Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) to be accomplished without the need for PC computers, wide-area networks, monthly service fees, or internet connections. The M7 GX is an outstanding GPS transponder, and when connected to a standard GPS display, it will show the location of all other M7 GX radios within radio range. It makes a Complete Real-Time Tracking system with in-vehicle display, perfect for the construction foreman, park ranger, public safety official, or mobile user.
Raveon also offers RavTrack PC, a software program that works with the M7 GX to create a sophisticated AVL system, with mapping, alarming, and geo-fencing.
Available in standard, and IP65 weather proof versions, the M7 GX is FCC approved for Parts 22 and 90 operation in the 450-480MHz band.
