1.1 General
MAMBO2 is an advanced personal tracker and personal tracking system that uses a
quad-band GSM/GPRS technology for two way communication and the latest GPS
technology for positioning. It has a high sensitivity GPS Helix antenna that receives GPS
signals from all direction and helps the GPS engine to get a fix more quickly. MAMBO2
as an all-in-one handheld product and equipped with a sophisticated software allows
system integrators and developers the possibility to develop their own cost efficient and
flexible applications in both SMS and TCP communication modes. This gives MAMBO2
the ability to transmit its position not only to your cell phone by SMS, but also to an
internet server by GPRS using the inside TCP/IP stack. MAMBO2 can be used as a cell
phone with the standard features such as data call and SMS, all through a simple
menu-guided operation. It can be carried along in a pocket, backpack or fixed in a
vehicle. Emergency alarms can be done by pressing a specific key and reporting
current location, date and time. This option should be pre-configured by the system
integrators. Therefore, you can quickly and easily track the position of the MAMBO2
device. This product has a unique geo-fence feature used to report if the device ( e.g.
the person who is carrying it ) moves from a particular location or deviates from a predefined route. Additional applications include fleet management tracking, personal
security for independent workers, safety locator devices for police officers and
fire/rescue personnel, and so much more.
MAMBO2 offers an OLED display, two-soft keys and a navigation key that allow
users to easily navigate menus, send SMS, release alarms or graphically view all
your GPS information with detailed statistics on a large and brilliant screen. The
MAMBO2's firmware can be upgraded remotely (over-the-air over Internet).
The MAMBO2 connects the PC USB port and allows device programming,
debugging and battery charging from the same port.
The device functions are software configuration dependant. In order to insert your
device in your application you need to configure it. For more details, have a look in the
software documentation called “Mambo2PFALCommandsReferenceGuide.pdf”.
MAMBO2 can be used in a variety of applications such as:
✔ Personal safety and security,
✔ Remote tracking (Locating people),
✔ Fleet tracking and management,
✔ Real-time Navigation and Positioning,
✔ Trip management and many others …
