1. Introduction
The GV500VC is a vehicle tracking device that plugs into a vehicle's OBDII port. Its compact
design allows easy installation. Its internal OBD reader can obtain information from the vehicle's
on-board computer and relay it over CDMA2000 1x networks. Its built-in GPS receiver has
superior sensitivity and fast time to first fix. Its dual band CDMA2000 subsystem supports
BC0&BC1 allowing the GV500VC's location to be monitored in real time or periodically tracked
by a backend server and mobile devices. Its built-in 3-axis accelerometer allows motion detection
and extends backup battery life through sophisticated power management algorithms. System
integration is straightforward as complete documentation is provided for the full featured @Track
protocol. The @Track protocol supports a wide variety of reports including; emergency, geo-fence
boundary crossings, driver behaviour, low battery or scheduled GPS position and many other
useful functions.
