Figure 1 - Typical LoCate-001 Consumer Application
Figure 1 illustrates the typical consumer application. Standalone, the Consumer
LoCate-001 operates as a vehicle security system, reporting exceptions and
vehicle location through the Aeris Analog Control Channel Network. The
addition of the users private Cellular or PCS phone (calling the LoJack Concierge
Center) creates an end-to-end Telematics solution.
Figure 2 illustrates a commercial application of the LoCate-001. Standalone the
Fleet LoCate-001 provides Security, Automatic Vehicle Location, and Asset
Tracking. Combining the vehicle unit with the driver’s handheld Digital PCS
phone creates a complete Dispatching and Fleet Management Solution. The fleet
manager can send and receive messages via the LoJack Gateway and can monitor
the vehicle’s location on demand.
