LT6 GPS/AVL Modem The LT6 GPS/AVL AVL Modem is the backbone of the Navigo GPS/AVL Fleet Management System. Each vehicle to be monitored will utilize an LT6 AVL Modem device. GPS antenna options include a combo GPS/Cellular bulkhead mount antenna, mag-mount, and trunklip-mount antennas. The LT6 GPS/AVL Modem is capable of multiple and/or "dual" communication methodologies using either or both Cellular Data Network (GSM/CDMA), Bluetooth, WiFi (80211"x") technology, or passive `log and dump' protocols to transmit accumulated AVL and operations data. The LT6 is capable of monitoring and reporting a variety of analog and digital inputs. There are also up to four analog outputs available for remote control. This generic I/O capability is fully software configurable. Examples might include door lock control, ignition circuit defeat, light and emergency switch monitor, temperature, shock, and humidity. Standard interface packages are available for street maintenance vehicles such as plows, spreader, vacuum, and sweeper vehicles. Each AVL device may monitor up to 8 generic digital inputs. The 8 inputs may be used to trigger various events on the map. Digital inputs may be programmed to plot paths, display messages, mark spots on the map, or change the vehicles color. Six inputs may be used to monitor analog levels in the vehicle. An example would be battery voltage. Similar map actions as described for digital inputs are available when a given input drops below or rises above preset levels. Four remote controlled outputs are available to perform functions such as remote vehicle disable, flash lights, honk horn, unlock doors. All LTI GPS Modules use a state of the art SIRFIII high -sensitivity 20 Channel GPS receiver to ensure fast time -to -first -fix times and continuous tracking in the most challenging environments. The LT6 also hosts two RS-232 ports for connection to external peripherals such as laptop computers, text messaging terminals, and simple push button status heads. LTI offers laptop software for mobile data messaging, mobile mapping, remote database operation, LT MDT Mobile Data Terminal, and the LT MDC.

NMEA-0183 compliant protocol/custom protocol Extremely fast TTFF at low signal levels Garmin Navigation Device Integration Several Garmin devices allow us to interface with them through their Fleet Management 10. This allows us to control in -vehicle guidance, multiple stop optimization, driver log -in and statusing, and generic messaging on these functional and economical devices. LT Vehicle Diagnostic Bus Interface LTI gives a standard list of possible parameters to monitor from vehicle maintenance bus setups including OBDII or J1708/1939 (heavy duty vehicles). Not all parameters will be available with all vehicle types. • Throttle Position • Road Speed • Power Takeoff Status • % Accelerator Pedal Position • Fuel Level • Average Fuel Rate ▪ Engine Speed ▪ Total Idle Hours ▪ Total Idle Fuel Used ▪ Total Vehicle Distance ▪ Total Vehicle Hours ▪ Total Engine Hours ▪ Instantaneous Fuel Rate ▪ Instantaneous Fuel Economy ▪ Average Fuel Economy ▪ Total PTO Hours ▪ Seatbelt Status ▪ Any Vehicle Maintenance Codes LT Asset Tracking Location Technologies, Inc. utilizes an asset tracking device designed to provide the user with a once per day daily locate. The device has been specifically engineered to update itself and then go back to sleep enabling this self contained battery powered device to last a minimum of 1 year without need to replace the battery. This device can be affixed to any asset, designed to provide intelligent monitoring of non - powered mobile and fixed assets. The Asset Tracker is a water resistant device, pursuant to the IP-66 code rating. This rating specifies that the device is protected against dust and high pressure jets of water. 11 Proposal for City of Ramsey, MN Navigo GPS/AVL Fleet Management System Location Technologies, Inc.
