GPS trackers (Global Positioning System) are small transmittersthat are attached to objects of value, vehicles or people and animals. This makes it possible to find out the location of the objects, persons or animals. The transmitters were developed by the American military. Using satellites, the GPS module in the GPS Tracker can find out the location of the device. The data is sent to a server , processed and transmitted through the IoT network (e.g. LoRaWan or Sigfox) or GSM module to the receiving device via a server (EUSATEC Cloud), to smartphones, tablets or PCs.
GPS trackers can be useful in many situations, especially when it comes to security and efficiency. The application areas of GPS tracking are almost unlimited. There are optimised devices with useful functions and complete solutions for almost every area.
