Experts in Tracking
Satellite Tracking of GPS units is now a reality world wide. Radioactive
Networks have scoured the world and found a GPS tracking unit that will
actually work world wide without costing the earth. This is thanks to 'Store
and Forward' satellites that have been launched to create a world-wide
system of low earth orbit satellites.
This satellite transciever can send and receive position reports as well as
email and weather updates. The unit is only about 20 cm wide, and is IP68
rated. This unit really is quite well made - suitable for most demanding
environments.
As you can see from the photo, a lot of technology has been built into this
unit - although there is still space for the optional GSM/GPRS modem
allowing the use of the cellular network when in range.
Satellite Footprints
These pictures show the satellite footprints all over the world at one
instant on 21-June-2003. You will firstly notice that there are a lot of
satellites displayed. If you look closely you will notice that there is not
much of the earth that is not covered by at least one satellite footprint.
Since all the satellites are moving, the areas without coverage are also
moving, meaning that it is generally never more than a few minutes until
coverage exists.
Once a satellite is overhead, any messages are uplinked and downlinked.
Depending on where the units are with regard to a ground station it may
take two hours for a message to be downlinked.
