GPS Vehicle Tracking from ANY computer with an internet connection!

As close to live tracking as possible, the MightyRanger is a miniature GPS tracking system that operates up to 120 days on internal AA batteries. The Protrak Ranger is easy to deploy and the water-resistant case gives you the flexibility to place the unit inside or outside the vehicle.

Sounds great! How does the MightyRanger work?

The MightyRanger is a miniature, battery operated GPS vehicle tracking system that uses cellular data service to communicate. The Mighty Ranger is available as a black COVERT unit with an amplified GPS antenna that mounts magnetically OR as an ASSET TRACKER with internal antennas and mounts with screws. Both versions are available with external power and relay capability.

The Mighty Ranger is motion sensitive and begins to gather GPS data when the vehicle starts and sends the data over the Internet to a server. The data is sent using GPRS data service and a two-way connection is made. The data is stored on the server and is available anytime you connect.

How Does The Mighty Ranger Communicate?

The Ranger uses the latest cellular data technology (GPRS) to provide reliable communications. The Ranger contacts the server and sends location and status data as well as any data held in memory. The server acknowledges receipt of the data and then delivers any new instructions to the Ranger. This is a true two-way “real-time” connection (“SMS” is just one way with no acknowledgement).

If the Ranger GPS vehicle tracking system loses cellular service for any reason, travel information is held in memory (2000 positions) until the server is reached. It is then sent on for processing. Since bad cellular connections are always possible the internal memory assures that you get all of the travel data from your units.

How Do I Get The Vehicle Tracking Information?

When you start your computer you sign on to the Internet in your usual way. Then you start the Ranger software and it automatically connects to the server. All of the data from your units is sent to your computer automatically in just a few seconds.

As the data is processed, the location of your units is displayed on the map and the routes and transit addresses are available for you to view, playback and print reports. The Ranger software uses the latest available maps from “GDT” providing accurate location and street information.

The Ranger software will reconnect to the server every 2 minutes to gather more data from your units. If you keep an open Internet connection and leave the Ranger software running in the foreground or background, the most recent location information on all of your units will continually be displayed.
