Scope
This document sets forth the basic technical requirements and feature set for the ion tracking device.
Description
The Arrow Tracker is a self contained, expandable, integrated commercial grade vehicle tracking device that uses GPS satellite location in combination with a quad band GSM/GPRS cellular radio connection to report that location. ion is optimized for reliability, cost and size. However, it remains highly flexible and capable of addressing diverse and specialized requirements through a novel expansion arrangement.
All antennas including the GPS patch and GSM helical antenna are internal to the device. Data reporting can be initiated by a command center or by the tracker itself via GSM/GPRS, SMS or UDP pathways.
The Arrow is unique in that it is intrinsically expandable. A screw fastened expansion door secures SIM card access as well an expansion connector and daughter board cavity. This port supports small integrated daughter boards with features such as motion detection, acceleration measurement or radio expansion through standards such Bluetooth, Zigbee or WiFi.
The Arrow also supports functional expansion by a side mount adapter. This adapter supports addition of physically large devices such as very large capacity batteries.
The Arrow is based on chip level design as opposed to using a module with an external processor. The application software executes on the base level Central Processing Unit (CPU) under direct Operating System (OS) control. This approach provides a much more reliable, lower power and faster response than module/processor architectures. Unlike in common module/processor based designs; the ion design allows direct operating system access by the application, thus mitigating the need for a redundant external processor.
For added redundancy against system lockup, a physically separate, dedicated watchdog chip oversees the ion system operation. If the system does not maintain the watchdog chip through programmed reporting, the system power is cycled and a new satellite and cellular connection is established.
The Arrow Tracker can be provisioned for UDP and SMS data services for both application command and data transactions within the 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz GSM bands. Network provisioning is done with standard SIM cards. For added safeguard against network connection loss, a hardware ion endpoint reboot can be initiated by simply calling the provisioned phone number from a previously established Caller ID (CID).
Flexible I/O includes 2 bidirectional General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) ports that can also be assigned as a software Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) port. A separate dedicated UART port is provided for general use as well as development and programming support. A high current relay drive is provided for starter motor relay control or general purpose drive (current sink only).

The power input, ground and GPIO signals that are present on the main 8 pin external vehicle connector are also available on the 8 pin internal expansion connector. On the internal connector, there is also a unique battery supply pin that supports connection of a rechargeable battery.
Over The Air (OTA) program updates are supported through Firmware Over The Air (FOTA) protocol. This server based update system is licensed from HP.
All inputs are electrically hardened against overvoltage and over current conditions present in automotive environments. This includes transient electrical noise and Electro Static Discharge (ESD). The power input is further protected against over current with an internal, self resetting fuse.
The Arrow enclosure and its features are secured using M2 sized metal fasteners for rugged mechanical performance. The daughter board expansion and vehicle interface are achieve through robust, commercial grade, pin to wire header connections (in contrast with leaf contacts commonly used in cell phones and other portable non-industrial systems).
The Arrow is physically disguised to appear to an untrained observer to be a nondescript part of the cabling system. It is a small black box with unremarkable features. Two LED status indicators are provided to verify correct installation and initial operation. A unique feature extinguishes those status indicators 24 hours after an initial power up sequence. This feature further conceals the ion Tracker from untrained parties wishing to defeat its operation. The status indicators resume normal operation after the primary power has been removed for any length of time. This allows for maintenance to be initiated by simply disconnecting and then reconnecting power. This feature may be disabled as a factory option.
The Arrow Tracker uses a simple cabling arrangement and supports splicing into an OBDII extension for power. Connection to the vehicle is made through a 3mm pitch rectangular header connection common to the automotive market.
As with all GPS location devices, the ion should be installed in a vehicle such that it has an unobstructed view of the sky during normal operation. Double sided foam tape can be used to secure the surface not facing the sky if needed.
