There are two types of location technology: one is based on the satellite-based GPS network; the other on the mobile phone GSM network .
SATELITE SOFTWARE (GPS)
All businesses have an increasing and ongoing need for quality information regarding the efficiency and effectiveness of
their operations. BlackBox Control’s GPS-based Vehicle Tracking provides a reliable solution.
A BlackBox Recorder Tracking Unit provides the communication link that establishes a vehicle’s location via GPS. The BlackBox Recorder can be extensively customised to meet the reporting needs of most customers. These requirements could range from point-of-delivery (POD) confirmation to engine management data – even a distress feature for improved employee security.
Information from BlackBox Recorders is transmitted to head office administrators where software-driven display maps allow real time viewing of your vehicle operations. BlackBox Control can provide reports as frequently as every 10 seconds, though a one-minute polling rate is more typical.
GPS EQUIPMENT (GSM, 3G (NextG))
BlackBox Control’s Phone Locator can locate a phone or phone module on the phone network itself. Using this product
only requires mobile phones on the Telstra network and a computer with internet access.
From here, we connect your team’s mobile phones with our locating technology. Your entire team can then be typically pinpointed to within 300m on detailed, on-screen maps. These maps can be accessed by your management team through a secure website.
BlackBox Location Assist Technologies are simple to use and provide a powerful tool in helping to identify areas of business process improvement. Data that could be captured might include travel times, appointment duration, effective vehicle routes, equipment maintenance visits and much, much more.
