Asset GPS Tracking

Power Management

Explorer AT is an ideal solution for managing assets that are normally tethered to 12/24 volt systems but may sit idle for extended periods. Due to its exceptional power management, the EXPLORER AT is able to operate for up to 500 GPS position reports or 18 months without being recharged. Upon receiving power from its host asset, its integrated battery will automatically re-charge, preparing it for another extended period without power. Explorer AT’s built-in motion detector and input monitoring logic can wake the unit from deep sleep upon sensing activity, whereupon it resumes reporting GPS on its programmed basis. The unit’s Lithium Ion rechargeable battery is field replaceable, making EXPLORER AT appropriate for multi-year asset tracking deployments.

Versatility

Explorer AT’s ability to work in hybrid powered/unpowered environments provides unparalleled versatility for many different applications. Its internal antennas for both cellular and GPS provide outstanding performance, while enabling a covert installation. Measuring only 2x4x1.5 inches, Explorer AT installs easily into most assets and equipment. Its integrated accelerometer and 4 inputs can be monitored by GPS Commander to trigger events and alerts, such as Engine On, PTO On, etc.

Field Serviceability

Explorer AT employs GPS Commander’s industry leading over-the-air programming and maintenance engine that allows our Support Team to remotely monitor unit health status, deploy automatic upgrades, re-configure GPS reporting characteristics or trouble shoot units over-the-air. This ensures that optimum performance will be achieved and that changing customer requirements can be met without de-installation.

Performance

Explorer AT employs state-of-the-art design and manufacturing techniques to increase performance. With 50 Channel GPS capability, 3 Meter WAAS accuracy and high-sensitivity receiver technology, the unit delivers outstanding GPS reporting accuracy. The GPS Commander Tracking Portal brings Explorer AT’s capabilities to bear for asset managers with real-time and historical tracking, reporting and alert features that are highly configurable.
