PRODUCT FACT SHEET
Magix Pico Base Station (PBS)
Overview
This document is applicable to the MiX-Tabs Asset Positioning System (MAPS).
MAPS enables all existing MiX Telematics installed vehicles to create a customer specific wireless network, where each vehicle becomes a
mobile beacon reader, would not require any additional effort on the customers part. As the vehicles move around the sites and depots they
would encounter beacon equipped assets and relay information about the position of those beacons.
A single software platform, MiX Fleet Manager, enables the management of vehicles as well as beacon equipped assets. In MiX Fleet
Manager, asset managers are able to keep track of where there assets have been deployed and are currently in use. Vehicles in the vicinity
of these assets will also be shown on the same tracking screen, should the fleet manager need to efficiently coordinate the redeployment of
an asset to a different location.
MAPS consist of the following hardware:
• An RF network transceiver or Pico Base Station (PBS) that is added into the wiring harness of any existing FM
Communicator OBC to convert the vehicle to a Mobile Base Station (MBS)
• The Beame (also called the Magix Beacon): The Beame communicates with a Mobile Base Station (MBS) or stationary as a
Fixed Base Station unit (FSB) via a radio link. The MBS and FSB communicate with a remote server via a GSM link. The
Beacon is a wireless battery operated product. It is therefore easy to install. The variant of Beame that is fitted with a GPS
is called a “MAPS Beame”.
The PBS consists of the following part numbers.
