How does LoJack differ from GPS systems?
GPS systems require line-of-sight access to the orbiting GPS satellite system in order to track a missing vehicle. GPS systems can’t penetrate forest cover, parking garages or other obstructions. By contrast, LoJack uses a special FCC-allocated Radio Frequency s signal that can penetrate many obstructions. Many GPS systems also require an external antenna that can be seen and easily broken off by potential thieves. LoJack is the only system used by police to recover stolen vehicles.
