A-GPS – Assisted Global Positioning System

Category:

Pandora has enriched the anti-theft protection of the new Moto EVO alarm system with new modern technologies.

One of the most important is the integration of Assisted-GPS (A-GPS) which helps to locate the motorcycle, with greater precision (even in places where there cannot be a GPS satellite signal).

GPS satellite signal cannot pass through large buildings, urban tunnels or even trees in certain cases. Signal transmissions has become a challenging process even with the use of modern technologies. Assuming a satellite is not directly overhead at locations affected by the above characteristics, it becomes quite challenging to accurately  locate an object (a motorcycle in our case). As a result, GPS signal accuracy is greately decreased.

For some good news, motorcycles are receiving satellite signals relatively easier than a car, but, on the other hand, it is easier for thieves to move and hide a motorcycle in places with low signal coverage.

In addition, there are certain devices on the market that block (¨Signal Jamming¨)  GPS signals (and/or GMS signals as well) thus making it impossible to locate the motorcycle only by the satellite receiver.

FACT:

“A device integrating Assisted-GPS (A-GPS) technology, receives satelite signals much faster”

Pandora’s technological superiority adresses these major problems with solid solutions. After all, our main goal is to provide the finest  anti-theft protection on the market. Pandora alarm systems incorporate Assisted GPS (A-GPS) technology to help drivers determine their vehicle’s position!

GPS & Assisted GPS (A-GPS)

A GPS system needs to establish satelite connections so it can allocate orbit and clock data before determining an object’s position. This process is known as TTFF (Time to First Fix) and lasts from 30 seconds up to a few minutes before sending a position signal.

Devices using Assisted GPS/GNSS technology offer faster time-to-signal responses.
Pandora MOTO EVO receives location data from the nearest mobile antenna (cell tower).

Pandora MOTO EVO motorcycle alarm and telemetry system is another proof of Pandora’s ability to lead the global motorcycle alarms market.
