A GPS antenna is tethered to the unit with a lead wire (typically 10-15 feet). The GPS antenna collects the GPS data and feeds it to the unit. The unit does some processing of events and speeds. Additionally, the GPS tracking unit has a wireless modem inside, similar to ones found in cell phones. This modem is used to communicate with Global Tracking’s systems. The GPS data is sent directly from the vehicle’s unit to our servers, where we process the information for the user. All of this happens in real-time.
