The user can easily change the GPS and data transmission settings of the transmitters remotely through a secured web portal. More GPS fixes and/or more data transmissions will take more power from the battery and therefore shorten battery life. Also firmware can be updated remotely.
The costs for data transmissions to and from our server are not included in the purchase of any of our GPS trackers using a GSM, Iridium or Globalstar modem. Depending on the type (GSM, Iridium or GlobalStar), amount and frequency of data transmissions data plan costs can vary between 3 (GSM/GPRS) – 40 (Iridium) per tracker per month.
