1. Poduct Overview

VT310 is a GPS/GPRS based tracking device, specially developed and designed for vehicle real-time tracking and fleet management.

VT310 has an inbuilt GPS module to obtain accurate position data. This device utilizes its GSM capability to send position data to a

specified mobile phone or server base for tracking and fleet management.

With internal memory, VT310 can store GPS coordinates when there is no GPRS connection, or at a specified interval requested by

the user.

One optional feature of VT310 is that a microphone can be linked and hidden somewhere inside the vehicle for listening to the

cabin.
