Main operating modes and SOS

The following geolocation technology settings (geoloc_sensor parameter) are used by the main operating modes: motion-tracking, permanent-tracking, start/end tracking and SOS.

Notes

In standby mode, only side operations can report positions

  • WIFI only → Only WIFI scans are used for position determination.
  • GPS only → Only the GPS is used for position determination.
  • LPGPS only → GPS and low power-GPS are used for position determination.
  • BLE only → Provide data formatted as a list of "MAC address/RSSI" or Beacon ID/RSSI couple that can be used to compute a position.
  • Multi-technologies modes
    • WIFI-GPS → WIFI then GPS if WIFI fails in one geolocation cycle.
    • WIFI-LPGPS → WIFI then Low power-GPS if WIFI fails in one geolocation cycle.
    • BLE-GPS → BLE then GPS if BLE fails in one geolocation cycle.
    • WIFI-LPGPS/ WIFI-GPS → WIFI-low power GPS first, then WIFI-GPS if WIFI-low power GPS fails until timeout, then back to WIFI-low power GPS.
  • BLE-LPGPS only → BLE then Low power-GPS if BLE fails in one geolocation cycle.

Side operations​

The following geolocation technology setting (geoloc_method parameter) are used for periodic-reporting, on-demand or alert operations.

  • WIFI only → Only WIFI scans are used for position determination.
  • GPS only → Only the GPS is used for position determination.
  • LPGPS only → GPS and low power-GPS are used for position determination.
  • BLE only → Provide data formatted as a list of "MAC address/RSSI" or Beacon ID/RSSI couple that can be used to compute a position.
  • Multi-technologies modes
    • WIFI-GPS → WIFI then GPS if WIFI fails in one geolocation cycle.
    • WIFI-LPGPS → WIFI then Low power-GPS if WIFI fails in one geolocation cycle.
    • BLE-GPS → BLE then GPS if BLE fails in one geolocation cycle.
    • BLE-LPGPS only → BLE then Low power-GPS if BLE fails in one geolocation cycle.
