ATLAS PL Personal GPS Locator

• Advanced Safety Features.  Automatic "Man-Down", manual alert, critical alert, and proximity alerts are tranmitted along with position and status.
• Extended Battery Life.  24 operation with very fast updates, and many weeks of operation with slower update rates.
• Broad Range of Software Options.   Raveon’s Ravtrack products are broadly supported by numerous software solutions, including Raveon’s RavTrack PC, CES PT3, GlobalMapper, and Google Earth.  See http://ravtrack.com/AVL-Software.html
• Secure.   All position reports are 128-bit AES encrypted for secure communications. 
• Critical Alerts.  A built-in “Man-Down” sensor along with a manually activated Alert button and a Critical Alert feature allow dispatch and command centers to quickly identify critical situations.
• Built-In Battery and Charger.   The ATLAS PL’s large 2200mAh battery operates the unit for days, and the ATLAS PL may be recharged from any 12V DC power source. 
• Extremely Rugged.    The device uses Raveon’s “single-board” construction with GPS, modem, radio, and processor all secured on one circuit board.  The light-weight aluminum housing is crush-proof and water-proof. 
• UHF radio channels.  No public network access is needed.  It works even when the cell systems don’t with no monthly fees.
• Very Fast Updates.  With up to 20 positions reports every second, you can track in truly real-time.

The Atlas PL is configured using its built-in RS232 serial port.  Raveon provides a software program called Radio Manger to configure the M7. More Details...

The Atlas PL has a number of different I/O drivers built into it, allowing it to work with a large range of displays, computers, and PC software applications.  Like all of Raveon's GPS RavTrack GPS tracking products, it has an open software interface, and details of all serial-port messaging is publically available.
