1. Over view
Hyundai J.Comm’s mBFT17, multi-path Blue Force Tracker (hereafter “mBFT17) is an advanced hand
held blue force tracking terminal for users to enables them sharing situational awareness in near real
time by position reporting & C2 messaging.
With integral GPS receiver and electronic map, users can identify its accurate position and share
various tactical messages with geographic location information to other subscribers through integral
iridium and optional communication modems (analog radio modem, WCDMA modem).
Use of mBFT17 and or external WCDMA modem is available after proper subscription procedure with
local representative of Iridium satellite service provider and mobile telecommunication service
provider respectively.
mBFT17 has BLE Bluetooth module to support local area sensor (e.g. heart rate meter, temperaturehumidity sensor). Also it has designed to utilize location based service such as beacon sensors.
