Cygnus Track is one of the most powerful and versatile GPS tracking software platforms available for your business. But how does GPS tracking itself work?
Inside the Vehicle
The process begins with the asset you're tracking — for example, a vehicle like this delivery van. First, you'll need to install a GPS tracking device in the vehicle. This device talks to the Global Positioning satellites to obtain the precise position of the vehicle, and may also monitor other things like the ignition, door locks, and accessory systems.
Communications
Next, the GPS tracking device communicates this information over the Internet to the Cygnus Track server, usually via a terrestrial communication network such as a GSM cellular system. Depending on the device and the network it supports, it may transmit in real-time, or based on a schedule.
Cygnus Track Servers
When The Cygnus Track server receives your vehicle information, it records it in a database. At the same time, Cygnus Track can check the data for evidence of speeding violations, emergency situations, or any other condition you've asked it to monitor, and react accordingly. A continuous flow of information from the GPS tracking device to the Cygnus Track server means a complete history of movement and status is stored right there in the database.
Cygnus Track Web Application
Finally, when you want to see the location of your vehicle, you can log into the Cygnus Track web interface any time, day or night, and use Cygnus Track's full array of tools to display location, speed, route history, and much more.
