1. Introduction
The AVL300 is a powerful GPS locator designed for vehicle or asset tracking. It has
superior receiver sensitivity, fast TTFF (Time to First Fix) and supports Quad-Band GSM
frequencies 850/900/1800/1900, its location can be monitored in real time or be
periodically tracked by a backend server or other specified terminals. The AVL300 has
multiple input/output interfaces that can be used for monitoring or controlling external
devices. Based on the integrated @Track protocol, the AVL300 can communicate with a
backend server through the GPRS/GSM network to transfer reports of Emergency,
geo-fence boundary crossings, low backup battery or scheduled GPS position as well as
many other useful functions. Users can also use AVL300 to monitor the status of a vehicle
and control the vehicle by its external relay output. System Integrators can easily setup
their tracking systems based on the full-featured @Track protocol.
This device complies with part 15B, part 22 and part 24 of the FCC rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
