Whois & Analysis for rewiresecurity.co.uk

A GPS tracking unit is a navigation device, normally carried by a moving vehicle or person, that uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) to track the device’s movements and determine its location.

The recorded location data can either be stored within the tracking unit or transmitted to an Internet-connected device using the cellular (GPRS or SMS), radio, or satellite modem embedded in the unit.

This allows the asset's location to be displayed against a map backdrop either in real time or when analysing the track later, using GPS tracking software.

Data tracking software is available for smartphones with GPS capability.

A dashboard (also called dash, instrument panel (IP), or fascia) is a control panel located directly ahead of a vehicle's driver, displaying instrumentation and controls for the vehicle's operation.

A vehicle (from) is a machine that transports people or cargo.

Typical vehicles include wagons, bicycles, motor vehicles (motorcycles, cars, trucks, buses), railed vehicles (trains, trams), watercraft (ships, boats), aircraft and spacecraft.

A smartphone is a handheld personal computer.

It possesses extensive computing capabilities, including high-speed access to the Internet using both Wi-Fi and mobile broadband.

Most, if not all, smartphones are also built with support for Bluetooth and satellite navigation.

Modern smartphones have a touchscreen color display with a graphical user interface that covers the front surface and enables the user to use a virtual keyboard to type and press onscreen icons.

Interaction is mostly done using touch, besides a few physical buttons.

Smartphones are typically pocket-sized, with somewhat larger sizes being called phablets; they are generally smaller than tablet computers.

Smartphones function using a rechargeable lithium-ion or lithium-polymer battery.

In computer science, real-time computing (RTC), or reactive computing describes hardware and software systems subject to a "real-time constraint", for example from event to system response.

Real-time programs must guarantee response within specified time constraints, often referred to as "deadlines".

The correctness of these types of systems depends on their temporal aspects as well as their functional aspects.

Real-time responses are often understood to be in the order of milliseconds, and sometimes microseconds.

A system not specified as operating in real time cannot usually guarantee a response within any timeframe, although typical or expected response times may be given.
