SimpleTrack (GPS)
Automatic vehicle location using Icom’s F121/F221/S mobile radios and your PC.
Keep track of your vehicle fleet simply and affordably with SimpleTrack, one of Icom’s low-cost Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) solutions.
Military-rugged Icom radios transmit GPS data to your base radio and PC without interfering with voice communications. SimpleTrack only needs one radio channel!
SimpleTrack is based on Icom’s EMDC signaling solution for 2-way radio. If you are already using an MDC1200 radio system, it’s fully compatible with EMDC. And if it uses EMDC, it can use SimpleTrack!
SimpleTrack is a board with a GPS antenna attached to it that installs into an F121/F221 mobile radio. Just plug it in and go.
Know where your resources are. Add modern, powerful AVL functionality to your military rugged 2-way radio system. SimpleTrack is your affordable safety and productivity solution.
How does SimpleTrack send GPS information?
GPS data signals are “piggybacked” on to voice transmissions with virtually no effect on voice quality. The number of data transmissions is minimized by sophisticated error correction. Icom’s data compression method is fast, up to 10x as fast. Plus, Icom’s technology is smart enough not to waste airtime if the vehicle is not moving.
