How Does Tack GPS Work?

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.
