1 Introduction

TheLN-Lisaself-containedvehicletrackingdevicethatcombinesGPSlocationwithLTECAT1/3G fallbackcellular connectivity. It is primarily a location reporting device that responds to requests (user, server) and events (timers, geo-fences). Data reports consist of a single record that contains all location data and system status.

The device comes pre-configured from the factory. It is ready to use. TheLN-
