| Firmware Smarts | |
| Auto-APN | Auto-APN allows the G100 to analyse the SIM card and select the correct APN details from a list that is pre-loaded in the device’s firmware. This means that the G100 can be shipped world-wide without requiring specialist setup for SIMs. |
| Text Message Setup | The G100 can also be sent text messages to setup the APN, server and other details |
| Multi-APN | The G100 can be configured to roam across multiple networks and to automatically use the different APN details for the roaming networks. |
| AssistNow Offline | The G100 will track successfully where other devices just give up.
This fantastic technology allows the GPS to predict which satellites are in orbit above it and to dramatically reduce the time-to-first-fix of the GPS, and the overall performance of the GPS, especially in ‘urban canyon’ or forested environments. |
| Flexible Logging Parameters | The G100 trip logging is flexible and can be configured to log based on a variety of parameters including:
|
| Accident and Rollover Detection | The G100 uses the built-in accelerometer to detect high G impacts such as accidents and rollovers and reports these events to the server for emergency alerting. |
| Harsh Driving | The G100 automatically calibrates its built-in 3 axis accelerometer and uses this to detect harsh driving events:
These events are logged in the G100 along with additional event statistics that allow back-end server platforms to perform sophisticated driver profiling and scoring. |
| Accident Data | The G100 keeps a second-by-second “blackbox” recording of valuable GPS and accelerometer data for a two hour window. This data can be automatically uploaded to the server when an accident is detected, or it can be requested manually. |
| Driver Identification | The G100 supports a number of ways to identify a driver:
|
| Driver Lists | The G100 can be updated from the server with lists of Drivers that are allowed to drive the vehicle that it is installed in. When a driver or operator registers on the G100 it will check the Driver List to see if that person is authorised to drive the vehicle. The list also includes information about the driver such as whether they can perform supervisor functions.
The G100 can be installed to immobilise a vehicle and only allow authorised drivers / operators to drive it, or to annoy an unauthorised driver with a loud buzzer. |
| Geo-Fences | The G100 has the capacity to hold hundreds of geo-fences that can be downloaded to it from the server. The G100 can use this geo-fence information to:
|
| Emulated Ignition | This setting allows the G100 to determine that a trip has started based on accelerometer and GPS data and to automatically set the ‘ignition’ input on the device to emulate the ignition line.
This means that the G100 can be installed with the option of not wiring in the ignition line and ‘emulating’ the ignition based on movement. |
| Run Detect | This setting allows the G100 to monitor the system voltage and to detect changes in the voltage that indicate if the engine is running or not. |
