Monitoring a subscriber’s GPS location is critical when an emergency arises. Whether the location is tracked by a crash detection or PERS device, we take great pride in being able to get emergency services on scene effectively and efficiently. Our current monitoring infrastructure leverages several different locating technologies to accurately pinpoint subscribers in need.
In a nutshell, we utilize GPS–which is a free service–to locate devices outside of cellular and WiFi range. This is the best locating technology available to people in rural areas because of the global access to satellites. Multiple satellites are able to connect to a device in order to triangulate their position.
Since there are more than 30 satellites supporting GPS technology, connecting isn’t hard to do. When cellular and Wifi locating technologies are unavailable, because of heavy cloud cover, or when located inside a building, Cellular networks and WiFi access points step in.
