Product Description:

Unit K8+ GPS is the KNOSOS designed high performance GPS positioning unit designed in 2007. That incorporates a great capacity of process, associated with a great number of peripheral. It is specially designed to work in vehicles, and to expire with the requirements of hardiness associated with this environment. Integrates an industrial PC, allowing GPS positioning of a vehicle and transmission to a control center optimizing the GPRS/GSM communications channels or of the networks TETRA/TETRAPOL or INMARSAT, using the most suitable carrier service of each network based on the cover.

Versatile unit
K8+ GPS Dual GPRS/TETRA has been designed for use with SAIR Platform of Knosos, or any other GIS based software. In TETRAPOL mode, it uses short datagrams and polling of network to send the data in real time. In GPRS mode, the standard TCP/IP protocol and in TETRA mode, SDS messages and services of short dates INMARSAT.

K8 + unit sends so much the GPS frame (position, instantaneous speed, course and hour), as data frame generated by a connected external device to the equipment (sensorization modul, terminal of data or terminal PDA), with the navigation software and the SAIR Mobile missions management
 
The equipment integrate digitals I/O that can be extended with additional digitals/analogics I/O, with the purpose of making telemetering, sensorization and telecontrol in the vehicles.
The K8+ unit communicates with equipment TETRA, TETRAPOL, INMARSAT through a port RS-232. The GPRS modem is inclose in the unit. The unit K8 + has a feeding source specially designed for its used in vehicles, protected against sobretensiones and beaks(peaks). The unit has a few manners of extinguished temporized, that guarantee that the equipment will not unload the battery of the vehicle. The K8+ unit allows the connection of peripheral (printing, terminal of data, weighers, etc.) when arranging ports series to the connection of such. In the same way it is possible to be programmed to work with WIFI/Bluetooth communications

Adaptable to any vehicle
Thanks to its small size and its compact and solid structure, the K8 unit can be used in the most demanding applications. It combined last generation technology along with an enormous facility of installation.
 
KNOSOS can personalize, to the measure of the application, the firmware of the unit K8+ GPS, obtaining the wished functionality and adapting of the best form to the communication channel and system GIS of the client

Highest functionality
K8 unit allows to be reprogrammed in remote from the base, so that it allows to send GPS positions by whole range, passed time or a mixture of both. Also it allows the memorization and overturned of routes by the communication channel and the generation of warnings towards the control center when the vehicle arrives at the predefined crossing sites, alarm bottom. Additionally it allows the configuration and management of the different channels of communication.
 
It offers like standard option the connection to application SAIR of data by optional data terminals with this functionalities:

  1. GPS Navigation.
  2. Remote database (ID Card, )
  3. Receipt and missions management of control center
  4. Operative Status.
  5. Free and predefined Messages
