Airo Telematics Logic™
The Airo Telematics Logic (ATL) is a proprietary protocol for communicating
with mobile devices and controlling their GPS functions over a cellular
network. Unlike existing GPS enabled devices such as those provided by
Sprint Nextel, ATL enabled devices can be remotely configured by a central
administrator, handle simultaneous voice and data, and integrate voice with
location as in call anyone within a certain radius. Therefore, control of
the mobile device is in the hands of the central administrator, such as
fleet operators rather than workers reticent of such monitoring. In other
cases, such as under distress or abduction, the user may be incapable of
speaking or clearly defining their location; however, the response center
will be able to communicate, remotely manage phone functions, retrieve
location data, and dispatch emergency responders to the correct location.
Unlike many data applications, GPS data is extremely time sensitive. The
ATL in conjunction with the Airo Telematics Platform™ creates priorities
and presence in messaging as well as intelligently manage data traffic based
on the handsets current operating state (i.e. in coverage, in GSM vs. GPRS
service, or on a voice call). Based on current communication conditions, the
ATL Firmware determines the best method to transmit data.
The ATL Firmware has been developed in Windows Mobile® 5.0 and 6.0.
Presently any device utilizing the either Operating system and a Broadcom
GPS can load the ATL Firmware and enjoy the same features. Future
versions planned for Q1 2009 will support multiple operating systems as well
as other GPS units enabling Airo to provide the same advanced services on
any vendor's handsets.
Lastly, the ATL supports peripheral devices such as bar code and magnetic stripe readers to meet the needs of mobile workforce management. The ATL incorporates such ancillary data with location data for comprehensive enterprise data management.
