A little bit of a play on words here as pretty much ALL tracking, including GSM and GPS is done by useing Radio Frequencies, but in this instance we are refering to RF as a means of homing in on a Target from a medium distance whilst on the ground.
RF tracking
10 years ago, ask anyone what their understanding of tracking was and they would probably talk about someone standing on the plains of Africa holding a television arial and looking for wild animals. This is physically what we are still doing now but over much shorter disctances. (the above example being not too covert!)
RF is very good at one thing...penetrating enclosed spaces. It will leak out of almost any gap or even through walls which means that provided we can get close enough, and with a little training, we can home into its otherwise hidden location from about 300-500 meters.
In practice, this technology works best when coupled with either GSM or ideally GPS tracking. We can use the GSM or GPS positions to get us to within the 500m range and then if the asset is hidden inside a building or other obstruction, we can use the RF to guide us into its exact location.
Obviously, the application of RF tracking means that there can be fewer hiding places for any 'tracked' stolen or lost assets. This means that if the asset that you are intending to track is small enough to hide in a building, such as a motorbike or even a laptop, then having an RF tracking option included on the tracking device will provide you with a much higher percentage chance of recovering your asset should it be stolen.
The perfect solution?
It stands to reason therefore, that a small, covert tracking device that has GPS,GSM and RF would suit most 'Post theft' tracking applications perfectly? click here for the solution.
