5.2. NMEA data message
FOX3-2G/3G/4G deliver data in the NMEA-0183 format and own format. The table below lists the NMEA and own
supported protocols and gives also a brief description for each of them. For further description about these protocols,
refer to the related documents [1].
These protocols can be sent via SMS, TCP, data call, serial port, e-mail or stored inside the device using the
corresponding PFAL-Commands. For example, the PFAL-Command "PFAL,GSM.Send.TCP..." allows sending the
protocols via TCP to a remote server including the current device location, GPS state, UTC time, date, speed and
course over ground. The received protocols by the server can then be used for graphically representation of the device
location. Installing such a device in a vehicle, lets you know where your vehicle is, what is happening with your vehicle,
has your vehicle been moved without authorization from a park area, updating vehicle movements in real time and
more. The TCP server developed by called "D2Sphere" has a lot of such features allowing you to have a full control of
your vehicle, fleet and your assets.
