Confidential                                                         Preliminary – Subject to Change   2011 Montage Asia    Page 3 of 15   Scope This document sets forth the basic technical requirements and feature set for the TRAXIT SUPER 2G GPS TRACKER tracking device.    Description The TRAXIT SUPER 2G GPS TRACKER Tracker is a self contained, integrated commercial grade vehicle tracking device that uses GPS satellite location in combination with a quad band GPRS cellular radio connection to report that location.  The TRAXIT SUPER 2G GPS TRACKER is optimized for reliability, cost and size.  The TRAXIT SUPER 2G GPS TRACKER is a cost optimized version of the standard IONL1G2 tracker that is targeted at expandable and fleet oriented applications.  The TRAXIT SUPER 2G GPS TRACKER is targeted more at the finance market. All antennas including the GPS patch is internal to the device. Data reporting can be initiated by a server or by the tracker itself via GPRS SMS or UDP pathways or over a physical USB connection. The TRAXIT SUPER 2G GPS TRACKER is comprised of a simple two piece plastic enclosure that is sonically welded together for reliability, durability and low cost assembly.  Interface signals and power are ported through a strain relief bundle at one end with up to a 7-lead pigtail.  For added redundancy against system lockup, a physically separate, dedicated watchdog circuit oversees the TRAXIT SUPER 2G GPS TRACKER system operation.  If the system does not maintain the watchdog circuit through programmed reporting, the system power is cycled and a new GPS satellite and cellular connection is established.   The TRAXIT SUPER 2G GPS TRACKER can be provisioned for UDP and SMS data services for application command and/or data transactions within the 850, and 1900 MHz bands.  Network provisioning is done using embedded SIM technology for reliability and cost savings.  For added safeguard against network connection loss, a hardware TRAXIT SUPER 2G GPS TRACKER endpoint reset and reboot can be initiated by simply calling the provisioned phone number and allowing it to ring three times. Flexible I/O includes 2 bidirectional General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) ports.  A separate dedicated USB port is provided for general use as well as development and programming support.  A high current relay drive is provided for starter motor solenoid control or general purpose drive (current sink only).     Over The Air (OTA) application firmware updates are supported through at TFTP connection to a server.  The entire application image can be updated using one specialized SMS or USB command. All inputs are electrically hardened against overvoltage and over current conditions present in automotive environments.  This includes transient electrical noise and

The power input is further protected against over current with an internal self-resetting fuse. The TRAXIT SUPER 2G GPS TRACKER is physically disguised to appear to be a nondescript part of the cabling system.  It is a small black box with unremarkable features. Two LED status indicators are provided to verify correct installation and initial operation. A unique power management feature allows these LEDs to be extinguished once installation is verified to be correct.  This feature reduces power and further conceals the ION Tracker from untrained parties wishing to defeat its operation.   As with all GPS location devices, the TRAXIT SUPER 2G GPS TRACKER should be installed in a vehicle such that it has an unobstructed view of the sky during normal operation.  Double sided foam tape can be used to secure the surface not facing the sky if needed.   A factory populate option is provided to add a motion detector to the main board.  Under software control, this motion detector can be used to wake the TRAXIT SUPER 2G GPS TRACKER from a very low power state.   Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.  This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: -- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. -- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. -- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. -- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. The device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not case harmful interference. The antennas used for this transmitter as shown in this filing must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Structure Figure 2 shows a high level block diagram of the basic architecture.  The OS is closely knit with a debugger allowing for code development, maintenance and updates over the USB port.  The boot loader provides control over all code and configuration memory.  The watchdog is a dedicated hardware device that will issue a hardware reset to the unit in conjunction with a power cycle operation if it is not maintained by a periodic ping from the application program.               Features TRAXIT SUPER 2G GPS TRACKERs to AT commands issued to it from either a physical USB port connection or to AT commands issued to it through an SMS or a UDP/IP connection.  With regard to text messages, TRAXIT SUPER 2G GPS TRACKER “reads” all of its own text messages and tries to interpret each message as an AT command.  SMS text may be sent to an ION through any CSD SMS connection. Key superset functions outside that of typical GPRS modems support intrinsic TRAXIT SUPER 2G GPS TRACKER Features.  These functions include:  Automatic field lockup recovery o Dedicated hardware watchdog with power and reset cycle  Specialized GPS functions including o GPS data reporting

The top and bottom half shells are sonically welded together to provide a water resistant seal around the case perimeter.  Through pressure engagement around the cable strain relief the welded enclosure also provides water resistance around the cable harness.  This seal is also potted with a slow set adhesive when the case is welded together.  The label is made of waterproof plastic and adhered the to the case bottom as shown using 3M waterproof adhesive.  The label covers test points used in final manufacturing test and also provides a watertight lens over the LED ports.  The label also provides media for silk-screening and printing barcode and other information onto.

Test points required for final test and provisioning are provided by port holes that are covered by the water resistant plastic label when applied.  Dual LEDs provide status and are viewed through this label through clear ports where printing or silk-screening is omitted.
