How Does Tack GPS Work?

Modified on Tue, 21 Jan at 3:52 PM

Tack GPS is a sophisticated tracking device that combines multiple technologies to provide accurate and reliable location data. Here’s an overview of how it works:


Location Technologies

  1. GPS (Global Positioning System):

    • Tack GPS uses satellite signals to determine its precise location.

    • Ideal for outdoor environments where GPS signals are strong and reliable.

  2. Wi-Fi Positioning:

    • In areas where GPS signals may be weak (e.g., indoors), Tack GPS can utilise nearby Wi-Fi networks to estimate its location.

  3. Cellular Triangulation:

    • When GPS and Wi-Fi are unavailable, Tack GPS uses nearby mobile towers to triangulate its position.

    • Provides location data even in remote or urban environments with limited connectivity.


Communication

  • Mobile IoT Network:

    • Tack GPS communicates its location information over the mobile IoT network to our secure cloud service.

    • This ensures continuous data transmission and seamless operation wherever there is mobile network coverage, similar to a smartphone.


Accessing Location Information

  • The location data is sent to our hosted secure cloud service.

  • The Tack GPS or OurSphere app retrieves this information, allowing you to monitor the device’s location from your smartphone.


Key Benefits

  • Works Anywhere:

    • As long as there is supported mobile network coverage, Tack GPS will function reliably.

  • Up-to-Date Interval Tracking:

    • Access accurate location updates via the OurSphere app.

  • Secure and Private:

    • All location data is transmitted and stored securely, ensuring your privacy.
