" What does AVL stand for?"
AVL is an abbreviation for Automatic Vehicle Location System. With major advances in technology, "Car 54, where are you?", is no longer a question without an answer. AerComTec's AerTrax(tm) system is an innovative, dependable and cost-effective AVL system with an entry level of one unit and no capacity limit. AERTRAX can serve a company with four vehicles as easily as a company with four thousand.

" What does GPS stand for?"
GPS is an abbreviation for Global Positioning System. The GPS is owned and operated by the U.S. Department of Defense. Its primary mission is to serve the navigation needs and weapons delivery missions of the U.S. Armed Forces worldwide. The GPS signals are produced by a constellation of satellites and are available at all times.

" Will my vehicles need a huge antenna?"
No! The AERTRAX antenna is about the size of a match box. Several mounting options are available including magnetic, adhesive, glass mount and screw on. Click here to view available antennas.

" How do I receive information from the AerComTec resource center regarding my mobile assets?"
AERTRAX information may be accessed from any laptop or desktop computer (IBM Compatible or Apple) that has access to the Internet. AERTRAX supports only the Microsoft® Internet Explorer 4.x Web browser.

" Who will train my employees to operate the system?"
The only training required relates to accessing the Internet and using a Web browser. Anyone now using a web browser is 95% trained.

" How accurate is the AERTRAX System?"
AERTRAX position accuracy is determined through a triangulation with the GPS satellite constellation. Accuracy is +/-50 meters.

" Ok! I understand that I can receive information about my fleet from the Internet, but how does the information get from my moving vehicle into the system?"
The AerTrax system utilizes a new, highly dependable and inexpensive communications concept called Control Channel Data. Other VLS systems utilize cellular voice channels or existing two-way radio systems; these systems are subject to interference, data loss and interception by competitors. The AerTrax data is error-corrected and is always transmitted at full legal power. Both in the air and over the Internet, AerTrax data streams are extremely difficult to intercept or corrupt.
