The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based radionavigation system owned by the United States government and operated by the United States Air Force.

It is a global navigation satellite system that provides geolocation and time information to a GPS receiver anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.

The GPS system operates independently of any telephonic or internet reception, though these technologies can enhance the usefulness of the GPS positioning information.

The GPS system provides critical positioning capabilities to military, civil, and commercial users around the world.

The United States government created the system, maintains it, and makes it freely accessible to anyone with a GPS receiver.

However, the US government can selectively deny access to the system, as happened to the Indian military in 1999 during the Kargil War.

Telematics is an interdisciplinary field that encompasses telecommunications, vehicular technologies, road transportation, road safety, electrical engineering (sensors, instrumentation, wireless communications, etc), and computer science (multimedia, Internet, etc).

Telematics can involve any of the following:

Fleet management includes commercial motor vehicles such as cars, aircraft (planes, helicopters etc), ships, vans and trucks, as well as rail cars.

Fleet (vehicle) management can include a range of functions, such as vehicle financing, vehicle maintenance, vehicle telematics (tracking and diagnostics), driver management, speed management, fuel management and health and safety management.

Fleet Management is a function which allows companies which rely on transportation in business to remove or minimize the risks associated with vehicle investment, improving efficiency, productivity and reducing their overall transportation and staff costs, providing 100% compliance with government legislation (duty of care) and many more.

These functions can be dealt with by either an in-house fleet-management department or an outsourced fleet-management provider.

According to market research from the independent analyst firm Berg Insight, the number of fleet management units deployed in commercial fleets in Europe will grow from 3.05 million units at the end of 2012 to 6.40 million in 2017.

Even though the overall penetration level is just a few percent, some segments such as road transport will attain adoption rates above 31 percent.

Wireless communication, or sometimes simply wireless, is the transfer of information or power between two or more points that are not connected by an electrical conductor.

The most common wireless technologies use radio waves.

With radio waves distances can be short, such as a few meters for television or as far as thousands or even millions of kilometers for deep-space radio communications.

It encompasses various types of fixed, mobile, and portable applications, including two-way radios, cellular telephones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and wireless networking.

Other examples of applications of radio wireless technology include GPS units, garage door openers, wireless computer mice, keyboards and headsets, headphones, radio receivers, satellite television, broadcast television and cordless telephones.

The ampere (SI unit symbol: A, dimension symbol: I), often shortened to "amp", is a unit of electric current.

In the International System of Units (SI) the ampere is one of the seven SI base units.

It is named after André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836), French mathematician and physicist, considered the father of electrodynamics.
