1. Introduction

1.1 Introduction

The TR-600 is a multi-functional and economically feasible communication platform for mobile
positioning applications. It integrates highly sensitive GPS module and quad-band GSM
communication module with a powerful microcontroller that fits into a compact enclosure. The
TR-600 has a solid and rigid housing, for simple installation. It provides real-time GPS positions
anytime and anywhere with an open view to the sky, and offers precise positioning, and reports
vehicle status to the server with necessary information shown on the map. Benefits such as
enhanced fleet management, improved vehicle safety, emergency response, are all
accomplished through the implementation of the TR-600 system.
