FasTracker - Aviation Version - GPS Tracking Unit
The aviation version of the FasTracker GPS tracking unit offers a low cost solution where tracking and distress alarm capability is required without voice and messaging. It can be supplied for portable use or permanent installation.
In the portable configuration, the unit plugs into the aircraft auxiliary power socket for its power supply, and the FAA certified antenna is located within the cockpit using a suction cup mount. There is no pilot interaction required once the FasTracker has been powered up. The unit will automatically transmit GPS position, altitude, direction, speed and other information from the aircraft in intervals ranging from one minute upwards. The reporting interval can be changed over the air via the FastView online monitoring system.
The FasTracker is supplied with a wireless distress/I`m Ok messaging button, which will send instant email and/or SMS alerts anywhere in the world.
FasTracker`s rugged construction and internal battery has proven to be critical in surviving aircraft crash incidents and ensuring that distress messages can be sent by the pilot and crew, when all other emergency communications have failed.
An optional aviation distress/return to base messaging switch can be supplied if the FasTracker is permanently installed in the aircraft.
