Tracking

What is SIM-based Tracking?
In SIM-based tracking, you find out the location
of the asset with the help of a GSM SIM. It
shares the location of the nearest cellular
tower from which its receiving signals. As the
asset moves, geographical coordinates are shared
with the operator on the app/web portal at
regular intervals. It does not require a
smartphone, device installation, maintenance
cost, or much time to get started.

What is GPS Tracking?
A GPS tracking system determines the exact
location of objects with an advanced
technological utility called the Global
Positioning System. Its a combination of more
than two dozen satellites, installed in
different orbiting planes in space. Every GPS
Satellite shoots accurate position, i.e.
longitude latitude, and time signals.
5
Components of a GPS Tracking System
A GPS Tracking system requires a sophisticated
setup. Three main components, necessary for even
the pilot tracking Tracking Device Server to
store data UI for the end-user. The tracker is
installed in the vehicle/asset with a SIM that
provides the network(GPSGSM) for relaying data.
The data packets are then sent to the central
server that stores data. It is translated in
understandable language and presented through the
app/website to the end-user.

SIM-based Tracking vs GPS Tracking
7
Cost-effectiveness
GPS Tracking In the long run, a GPS Tracking
system gives a good return on investment.
However, at the time of installation, it requires
a certain cost. SIM-based Tracking It costs
you nothing to enable SIM-based tracking at any
time. Just a feature phone, a SIM and the phone
users consent.
8
Maintenance
GPS Tracking Yes, it may require maintenance
from time to time SIM-based Tracking No
maintenance needed, whatsoever.
9
Number of Features
GPS Tracking GPS tracking software has
multiple features such as live tracking,
automatics alerts, Geofence, current status and
many more. SIM-based Tracking SIM-based
tracking is only about tracking the location of
the asset that also on intervals.
10
Accuracy of Data
GPS Tracking Impeccable accuracy of data as the
exact lat. long. are shared by the device
within seconds. SIM-based Tracking Not very
accurate as the SIM shares the geographical
coordinate of the nearest tower.
11
Payment Criteria

• GPS Tracking The term payment is fixed. Mostly
  works on per vehicle/tracker basis.
• SIM-based Tracking No term payments for SIM
  tracking services. Just pay as you go. You just
  pay per ping/hit.

Internet Connectivity
GPS Tracking Internet connectivity is a must
for the relaying of data. SIM-based Tracking
Internet is not needed.
