GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) trackers utilize cellular networks to provide accurate location data, enabling seamless monitoring of assets and individuals. These compact and reliable devices are ideal for applications ranging from fleet management to personal safety.
1. What are GSM Trackers and how do they work?
GSM trackers are GPS tracking devices that use cellular networks (GSM) to transmit location data. These trackers work by sending real-time updates about the location of your asset, vehicle, or personal item via text messages or apps. They are ideal for monitoring vehicles, pets, or other valuable assets within areas with cellular coverage.
2. Do GSM Trackers require a SIM card or subscription?
Yes, GSM trackers typically require a SIM card with a data plan or a prepaid service for communication. A subscription plan is often needed for real-time tracking features, such as receiving SMS alerts or using mobile apps. Make sure to select a data plan that suits the frequency and type of tracking you need.
3. Can GSM Trackers be used in remote areas without cellular coverage?
No, GSM trackers rely on cellular networks for communication. This means they won't work in areas without cellular coverage, such as remote wilderness or deep inside buildings. If you need tracking in such areas, satellite trackers would be a more suitable option.
