Description

The ARROW GPS Tracker is a self contained, 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.

All antennas including the GPS patch and GSM antenna are internal to the device. Data
reporting can be initiated by a server or by the tracker itself via GSM/GPRS SMS or UDP
pathways or over a physical USB connection.

The ARROW is comprised of a simple two piece plastic enclosure that is snapped
together for reliability, durability and low cost assembly. Interface signals and power are
ported through a connector socket at one end with 8pin wire connector.

The ARROW is based on chip level design as opposed to the traditional approach of
using a third party communications module with an external processor. The application
software executes on the base level Central Processing Unit (CPU) under direct real-time
Operating System (OS) control. This approach provides a much more reliable, lower
power and faster response time than module/processor architectures. Unlike common
module/processor based designs; the ARROW design allows direct operating system
access by the application, thus mitigating the need and for a redundant external processor
and the associated power and cost.

For added redundancy against system lockup, a physically separate, dedicated watchdog
circuit oversees the ARROW system operation. If the system does not maintain the
watchdog circuit through programmed reporting, the system power is cycled and a new
GPS satellite and cellular connection is established.

The ARROW can be provisioned for UDP and SMS data services for application
command and/or data transactions within the 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz GSM bands.
Network provisioning is done using embedded SIM technology for reliability and cost
savings. For added safeguard against network connection loss, a hardware ARROW
endpoint reset and reboot can be initiated by simply calling the provisioned phone
number and allowing it to ring three times.

Flexible I/O includes 2 bidirectional General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) ports. A
separate dedicated USB port is provided for general use as well as development and
programming support. A high current relay drive is provided for starter motor solenoid
control or general purpose drive (current sink only).

Over The Air (OTA) application firmware updates are supported through at TFTP
connection to a server. The entire application image can be updated using one
specialized SMS or USB command.

All inputs are electrically hardened against overvoltage and over current conditions
present in automotive environments. This includes transient electrical noise and
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). The power input is further protected against over current
with an internal self-resetting fuse.

The ARROW is physically disguised to appear 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 power

management feature allows these LEDs to be extinguished once installation is verified to
be correct. This feature reduces power and further conceals the ION Tracker from
untrained parties wishing to defeat its operation.

As with all GPS location devices, the ARROW 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.

A factory populate option is provided to add a backup battery and motion detector to the
main board. Under software control, this motion detector can be used to wake the
ARROW from a very low power state.
