L-BizTM Architecture HOW IT WORKS

PLD ALDVehicle Location Devices(VLDs), PersonalLocation Devices (PLDs)and Asset LocationDevices (ALDs) integrateGPS (Global PositioningSystem) receivers withsmart processors andwireless modems toaccurately measure thelocation and transmit itto the Client via thewireless network, theTracker and the Internet.

VLDMobile Devices

WirelessNetwork

The Tracker is a reliable and powerful serversystem capable of managing communicationswith up to hundreds of thousands of L-BizTM

mobiles of any type, while at the same time allow Internetaccess to their mobiles by thousands of clients. The Trackersoftware is implement fully in JavaTM and the applications arewritten in XML providing for industry standards and securecommunications over the Internet.

Trackers act as the wireless gateways, communicate bi-directionally and simultaneously with mobiles throughmultiple disparate wireless networks. They support severaltypes of location technologies, not only GPS but also Cell-ID,Cell Sector and others. The modular software architecture comprises several software“engines” including database, mapping, location business and profile, client interface andbilling. There is also an XML gateway to external systems for customized applications.

This software allows customers to view the location oftheir devices on a map, to capture that status of thedevice, activate any of the programmable outputs andsend text messages to a display attached to the mobile.This software can be hosted on almost any computerwith web access. Through it, users can control theirmobiles, set and even change parameters under whichthe mobiles report at will.
