1. Introduction
The water resistant GL300VC is a powerful GPS/GNSS locator designed for lone worker, vehicle,
pet and asset tracking applications. The thumb sized button makes this device ideal for
applications requiring rapid notification of emergency alert or regular setting of geo-fences based
on current location. Its built-in GNSS receiver has superior sensitivity and fast time to first fix. Its
CDMA2000-1X allowing the GL300VC's location to be monitored in real time or periodically
tracked by a backend server and mobile devices. Its built-in 3-axis accelerometer allows motion
detection and extends battery life through sophisticated power management algorithms. System
integration is straightforward as complete documentation is provided for the full featured @Track
protocol. The @Track protocol supports a wide variety of reports including emergency, geo-fence
boundary crossings, low battery and scheduled GPS/GNSS position.
