GPSit is pleased to announce the next wave of customer driven TrackFusion and FS1 tracker feature enhancements. Here is a summary of what is now in Beta Testing and will launch soon:
Improved battery management – extending covert tracking life
- Out of cellular coverage sleep mode – conserves battery life
- Adjustable low battery notification – improves timely recoveries
- Programmable dormant schedules- conserves battery life
Enhanced Geofences – faster and less taxing on battery life
- FS1 tracker now performs geofencing analysis locally in device
Reliability and Support – ensuring your success
- Redundant device to service communications, improving reliability
- Message acknowledgements for better trouble shooting
As always, GPSit welcomes your feedback on how we can continue to refine our covert gps tracking solutions to meet your requirements.
Choosing the right battery option is pivotal to covert tracking success. You must choose a battery configuration capable of lasting the duration of your tracking initiative and yet still maintain reserve capacity to handle unforeseen events.
GPSit has three choices:
• 1.8 Ah “Amp Hour” Li-ion rechargeable battery, integrated with FS1 tracking device
• 3.6 Ah Li-ion rechargeable battery, integrated with FS1 tracking device
• 24 Ah polymer lithium rechargeable battery, external to FS1 tracking device
For short tracking applications the 1.8Ah and 3.6 Ah battery options are ideal, especially since the battery and GPS tracker is a single, integrated unit. For longer deployments, tracker configurations with the 24 Ah external battery are reccomended.
What impacts battery life?
Battery life is impacted by several key power consumption factors:
• Cellular coverage within the tracking region
• Location update frequency (user controlled with TrackFusion)
• Frequency of Assisted verses Autonomous GPS locates
If the above three characteristics are well known, then GPSit can give you a fairly good estimate of battery life. If not, then these estimates will help you choose your initial battery configuration:
Choose:
1.8 Ah Battery for up to 11 day deployments
3.6 Ah Battery for up to 21 day deployments
24 Ah Battery for up to 60 day deployments
