How does a GPS tracking system work?2015-04-14T12:20:49+01:00

A GPS antenna is connected to the device with a lead wire. The GPS antenna collects the GPS data and feeds it to the device. The device then processes events and speeds. Additionally, the GPS vehicle tracking device has a wireless modem inside, similar to ones found in mobile phones. This modem is used to communicate with Squarelabs’ servers. The GPS data is stored to memory and then sent directly from the vehicles device to Squarelabs’ servers, where it is immediately processed into usable information for users. This all takes place in Real Time.

How does GPS work?2015-04-14T11:25:03+01:00

A common misconception among most people is how GPS works. GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites should not be confused with communication satellites used for wireless communications. They are two completely separate satellite networks. Our Outreach Services use GPS satellites for location purposes and send the location data to our servers so our customers can use our devices to locate their vehicles/assets in real-time or historically.

What is GPS?2014-07-21T10:38:40+01:00

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information anywhere on or near the earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to a receiver by triangulation of three or more GPS satellites. GPS provides critical capabilities to military, civil, and commercial users accros the Globe. Various governments have developed and implemented satellite networks as military navigation systems and now make it freely accessible to anyone with a GPS receiver.
