Product Description:

U nit K8v7 GPS Dual GPRS/TETRA® is the KNOSOS designed high performance GPS positioning unit designed in 2006. It allows GPS positioning of a vehicle and transmission to a control center optimizing the GPRS/GSM or TETRA communications channel, being customizable the use policies for each network.

Versatile unit
K8 v7 GPS Dual GPRS/TETRA has been designed for use with MicroNAV® Platform Solution (MPS), or any other GIS based software

The equipment integrates digital inputs and outputs, which may be extended to include additional digital and analogic inputs and outputs, in order to perform telemetry, sensorization and telecontrol on the vehicles.

In GPRS mode, it uses standard TCP/IP protocol and, in TETRA mode, SDS messages to send required real-time information, and it optimizes the joint operation of both communications networks.

K8 v7 unit sends so much the GPS frame that will be represented on the cartography of the application of control center, as data frame generated by a connected external device to the equipment (DATA). K8 unit can be connected to external terminal or PDA by port series or Bluetooth connection.

K8 unit has certificate automotive “e”, 95/54CE for motor vehicles, and 89/366/EEC, 92/59/CEE of electromagnetic compatibility.

Adaptable to any vehicle
Thanks to its reduced size and compact and solid structure, the K8v7 unit is the ideal equipment for the most demanding of applications. It combines state of the art technology with tremendously straightforward installation. What’s more, it has been designed in such a way as to minimize electrical consumption by the partially switching off of certain elements.

Maximum functionality
The R&D department personalises the software recorded in the unit, in keeping with the application, therefore achieving the required functionality and adapting it in the best possible way to the communication channel.

1. The K8 unit is reprogrammable from the base station so that it is able to send GPS positions by distance travelled, by the time taken and by a mixture of both measurements.
2. The equipment’s serial port NMEA supplies NMEA-0183 streams that are compatible with GPS based navigators on Mobile POCKET PC® platforms or similar.

The system enables the memorization and storing of routes, in addition to alerting the control centre when key predefined positions are reached.
